St Peter's Catholic School Hazel Grove

We decided to undertake the Everybody Writes project in order to raise standards in writing, especially boys, and to encourage enthusiasm for writing within the whole school community.
Our specific project aims were to:

• Create a specific outdoor space for writing
• Use the environment to inspire good quality writing
• Encourage increased enthusiasm for writing within the whole school community.

Miss Gough and I met to fill in project proposal form. We decided to improve and utilise a part of the playground which was unused and not particularly attractive, and transform it into a writing area. We intend to:-

• fasten a writing surface and other writing stimuli onto

the brick wall

• put writing tables and benches in a fenced off area with

a 'storytelling' chair with seating around it

• to paint an ugly metal container with variety of

stimulating scenes and a story mountain similar to
that done by 'Pie Corbett'

• have colourful, interesting and stimulating

writing equipment and resources available in that area

• to get the whole school community involved

and enthused in the writing required to get the project
up and running and maintained.
