I introduced the idea because I felt that if we could improve our understanding of how children really //felt// about writing - what they loved, what they found difficult, what they hated then we could try to build on what they liked and try to minimise the things that made them anxious or that they loathed. I have to say, it was VERY revealing!! The results were interesting as a snapshot in time and it was fascinating to repeat the survey to see how things had changed over the year. I slightly tweaked one or two of the questions - this was to take account of different writing projects taking place in different year groups.
