The day was extremely productive with staff discussing the latest research in Literacy,  reading conferencing techniques and literacy activities to implement in the classroom.

Staff provided exemplary pieces of student's writing to discuss the 'craft of writing' and how we can continue to develop and improve each child's piece of work.  All of the participants 

commented on the outstanding pieces of writing I had collected from the students at St Joseph's.

A strong message from the day was that 'Reading and Writing Develop Together'.  If you want to develop your writing skills you need to read, read, read!
