Our aim is to provide for all our children, a stimulating, relevant and interactive environment in which they can enjoy being creative and purposeful writers, allowing them to confidently develop the skills to communicate clearly with a range of audiences and in different contexts.
We foster a text approach to writing throughout Shenton. The text is used to create meaningful contexts for writing fiction and non-fiction and is used as a stimulus for different forms of writing.
The long term plan below will indicate the books your child will cover this year.
Learning to spell correctly is a key skill for developing competent writers.
At Shenton, children are taught to use a range of spelling strategies to help them spell accurately.
Handwriting is an essential skill that plays an important role in written composition. At Shenton, children are taught to develop a fluent, legible cursive style.
