Writing
Writing is taught in classes, with grammar learning embedded into teaching, in order to ensure understanding of the relevant content. As a school, we have adopted the Jane Considine approach. Writing is introduced through an Experience Day, to provide children with a clear context for their upcoming work. Lessons focus on teaching through small learning chunks: initiating ideas, modelling writing and enabling children to apply this themselves. Spelling is also taught through short, focussed sessions matched to the year group’s curriculum.
