It has been written for schools with head teachers wanting to take action to improve the teaching of writing across their school, lead teachers eager to develop their subject knowledge and teaching staff who would like to see their pupils leave primary school with a deeper understanding and enjoyment of what writing can be for them and what it can do in the world beyond the classroom.

The findings of the team of schools showed that ' by stimulating emotions and imagination these approaches gave pupils a reason to write, motivating them to plan, plot and sequence, work on and improve a piece of writing through several drafts.'

The full report is attached to this news item.]]> phildavis NewsMon, 22 Mar 2010 10:18:29 +0000 http://www.PictureTheMusic.com/community/forum/read.php?1,178,178#msg-178 http://www.PictureTheMusic.com/community/forum/read.php?1,178,178#msg-178quick evaluation form - let us know how things are going.

..it really makes your brain run.

Sounds create a whole bunch of ideas.

It helped me create a powerful Imagination.

I think i can use this at SATs and English tests and long writing tasks.

It gave us so many ideas.

Sounds can take your mind and create images.

It teaches you in a fun and active way where you can imagine anything.

I enjoyed every single bit about it.

His two prints are being exhibited in the Weston room and were selected by Eileen Cooper RA. She said about Mick's work - 'This shows great control of the medium; it's got limited colour, beautifully achieved. I just think it is a very playful and charming representation of Greenwich.'

To view one of the prints go to the online gallery and scroll to image 3 of ten - click here to visit

The summer exhibition is open to the public until the 16th August 2009.

We are in the process of building the www.picturethemusic.com website. The designers have been busy and have come up with four 'looks' for the front page.

We would be very grateful if you could let us know which, if any, of the four designs you like and possibly why (or why not).
