South Wilford
Intent
The Children at South Wilford will learn to be confident and creative writers through an engaging, knowledge rich curriculum. Accurate use of grammar and clever use of language will be evident in writing that has a clear, authentic purpose and audience. Teachers will expertly model excellent writing and provide children with the skill to improve their own writing independently and effectively. Wider reading and digital opportunities will build the children’s knowledge and help to support effective writing.
Our Approach
· Based on The Writing Revolution, teachers plan a 3-week block linked to the wider topic for the term
· A core text (Adjusted for EYFS & Year1) which inspires the children to produce interesting and thought-provoking writing accompanies the wider topic
· A clear purpose and audience are identified from the start and shared with the children. Teachers are clear about what they want the children to learn by planning backwards
· Week 1 immerses the children in the subject and builds knowledge to draw from in their writing using a wide range of texts, experiences and other media. The wider learning through the curriculum and shared reading helps to build their knowledge utilising Oracy and Digital opportunities.
· In week 2 children explore and learn about the specific genre of writing, grammar and sentence level work to teach children how to inform, persuade or entertain.
· During week 3 children develop planning, drafting and editing skills before a final piece is published for an authentic purpose
· Independent Writing books are used to keep a record of children’s writing progression
