Writing
We endeavour to deliver an innovative English Curriculum, where excellent early language development is promoted and written and oral communication, and creativity is a high priority.
We have constructed our own curriculum using a blend of ‘Book based Literacy’ and the ‘Language and Literacy ‘ scheme . Our carefully constructed curriculum develops children’s comprehension, writing and spoken language.
We use a step-by-step approach through whole class shared reading of complete texts, to develop comprehension skills and give children the confidence and skills to write ambitiously and accurately. In addition, we teach writing through regular extended writes linked to current history and geography topics and through our topic linked ‘Book Based Literacy’ texts.
Further information on our Writing and Literacy Curriculum including the current topics, can be found below and in the half-termly newsletters sent home to each class.
