Celebrating Young Writers at NMAJS

 “Good writing is clear thinking made visible.” – Bill Wheeler

Parents of Classes 1 to 5 were invited to a Learning Walk on Writing, through the Primary Years Programme at NMAJS—and what a wonderful experience it was! This interactive walk gave parents an inside look at what writing looks like in our classrooms—from understanding the purpose behind each piece, to exploring different genres and elements, and seeing how core writing traits are nurtured at every stage.
