Writing

With our focus on a broad and balanced curriculum, we are able to teach writing skills in a range of different contexts. 

Some ways we teach writing: 

• Through topic work. For example, we might write: an information text on a historical event, instructions based on DT or science experiment, or explanation text about Geographical features. 

• We might also have whole-school topics where teachers include a piece of writing linked to this. For example, we have had Poetry Week, STEM Week and Platinum Jubilee Celebrations; all of which included year groups writing for different purposes. 

• Each of our topics are centered around a high-quality text; whether that be a book or a film. Many of our writing pieces each half term will be based on this text. This might include narrative texts, poetry, comparison texts or a range of non-fiction structures.
