Children will make judgements on what is 'fact' and what is 'fiction' based on available evidence.

Evaluation

Children will discuss success criteria for their written work, give feedback to others and begin to judge the effectiveness of their own instructions.

Social skills

When developing collaborative writing children will learn about listening to and respecting other people's ideas.

Communication

Children will develop their ability to discuss as they work collaboratively in paired, group and whole-class contexts. They will communicate outcomes orally, in writing and through ICT if appropriate.
