Intent<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

At Eastrington Primary School we encourage and provide the opportunity for all children to flourish and shine in their writing.\u00a0 We support children in developing a range of segmenting and composing skills so that they can write confidently and independently.\u00a0 We aim to develop the children\u2019s ability to produce well structured, detailed writing in which the meaning is made clear and which engages the interest of the reader. \u00a0\u00a0It is also our intent to develop children who are confident with: planning and composing texts using the appropriate features, structuring texts accurately, writing for a purpose, using punctuation accurately, using a range of spelling strategies, editing and improving their work and making adventurous language choices.<\/p>\n

Implementation<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Children are shown the importance and value of communicating through writing in a wide range of genres and are helped to develop accurate spelling and punctuation.\u00a0 There is a progressive emphasis on the skills of planning, drafting, proof reading and editing.\u00a0 The children are given frequent opportunities in school to write in different contexts using quality texts as a model and for a variety of purposes and audiences. Pupils use red pen to encourage and support editing and improving their own writing.<\/p>\n

Teachers use a variety of high-quality personalised teaching and learning styles with planning led by the 2014 National Curriculum.\u00a0 For example, teachers will often use scaffolding by providing WAGOLLs (What A Good One Looks Like) alongside success criteria for composition of non-fiction and fiction texts.<\/p>\n

High quality texts are used to develop and promote the use of adventurous language and vocabulary choices and inspire writing opportunities.\u00a0 Dictionaries, word mats and thesauruses are available in classes, and opportunities for cross curricular writing are always sought.<\/p>\n

We use the purchased handwriting scheme Write Well in school to help children develop fluent, clear and legible joined up writing.<\/p>\n

In Reception and KS1, daily phonics is the key to the children\u2019s learning of spelling. This is taught using the LCP planning (linked with Jolly Phonics) and then in conjunction with the Spelling Shed scheme.\u00a0\u00a0 This scheme is then followed by all pupils in Key Stage Two.\u00a0 Children are taught to blend sounds to read and segment to spell.\u00a0 At the same time, they learn words which are not phonically regular (common exception words).<\/p>\n

Pupils in Key Stages One and Two are given age and ability appropriate weekly spelling lists to learn, taken from the phonics focus or the Spelling Shed scheme.\u00a0 These are also reinforced by the online resources and app, which the children can play at home.\u00a0 The spellings are subsequently tested and teachers monitor results.<\/p>\n
