Intent

Writing represents one of the fundamental tools that enable children to learn and communicate ideas, views and feelings. That through the Talk for Writing approach in the Early Years and Key Stage one, progressing to a sentence stacking approach in Key Stage two, children develop their powers of imagination, creativity and critical thinking, whilst developing the skills and knowledge to enable them to be confident and competent writers.

Aims for children:

Be enthusiastic, confident and competent writers.

Write with confidence, fluency and understanding, orchestrating a range of

independent strategies to self-monitor and correct.

Understand a range of texts types and genres and be able to write in a variety of

styles and form appropriate to the situation.

To use punctuation and grammar accurately and effectively.

Increase their ability to use planning and drafting to improve their work.

Use a variety of mediums to express their written ideas, e.g. ICT and Drama.
