CSSE continuous writing

I have based the continuous writing practise on similar ideas to the familiarisation papers. Is the CSSE test always a description and instructions?

Anyone got any tips for improving writing or what they need to focus on? The marking scheme doesn’t seem very clear :?

Hi, my daughter sat csse last year and passed in catchment. I remember one of her questions was if you could have a superpower what would it be and why? I think they are look for creativity good use of imagination and language. Correct spelling and punctuation. It's not as hard as they make out if your child's generally bright and enjoys learning and works hard they should do fine . Good luck x

Hello, thank you for your reply! My son has always been ‘above expected’ at school so didn’t have too many concerns but now, after getting some advice, I’m starting to panic that his writing isn’t up to the standard as he doesn’t use the more intellectual vocabulary :roll:
