Implementation
Writing links to the wider curriculum and our class texts, providing children with the opportunity to deepen knowledge and magpie ideas from the authors they have studied.
Children have opportunity to study a wide range of genres and learn to write for a variety of purposes and audiences.
A clear writing process is used for every unit:
Each unit begins by the teaching of up to three grammatical skills, as outlined by the National Curriculum, appropriate to the genre . The features of the genre are also identified in a high quality model text.
Throughout the writing unit, children are given stimuluses to collect words and phrases that can be used in their writing. These are intially used by the teacher to model writing a sentence. The children are involved in refining the sentence together. Children will then have a go independently and these are shared as a class and feedback is given.
Children are provided with an experience to help stimulate their writing ideas. This may include a trip, a digital experience or role-play.
Once children are confident in the strucutre of the genre, they will plan their own writing for a particular audience and purpose. They will build up this piece of writing over a number of days and are provided with regular opportunities to edit and redraft to ensure a high quality outcome.
Finally children publish their writing and it is shared with the intended audience.
Our Genre Knowledge Progression ensures our children learn more and remember more each time they revisit a genre:
