Writing and the PYP Curriculum

As you know a large amount of the pupils' learning at the Primary Academy takes place around a Central Idea and following Lines of Inquiry. This allows pupils to become very immersed in their learning. We then use this as a catalyst for the pupils' writing. This means that the pupils are very invested and engaged when they produce a piece of writing. Below you can see some examples of this writing from some of the classes.

Year 1

In Year 1, the children have been looking at the story The Dot. They then wrote sentences to say what they could use a dot to draw.

Year 2

In Year 2, the children have been looking at traditions. The children looked at the Tooth Fairy and write stories that included the Tooth Fairy.

Year 3

In Year 3, the children have been learning about light and how we see. The children used their knowledge to write an information text to inform others about light.

Year 4

In Year 4, the children have all been learning about the Romans and Roman soldiers. They used what they had learnt about Roman soldiers to write a diary as a Roman soldier.

Year 5

In Year 5, the children have been learning about the Mayan civilisation. They used this knowledge to write a comparison between the Mayans and the Anglo Saxons (that they learnt about in Year 4).

Year 6

In Year 6, the children have been learning about World War II. They read the story of Rose Blanche and used some of the images from the story to write a poem contrasting a scene during the war and after the war.
