Picture the Music Create in writing research

Picture the Music create is featured in a report released by the Esmee Fairbairn foundation called Writing Is Primary.
Writing is Primary - a report documenting a 15 month action research project on the teaching of writing in primary schools. 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.'
