Writing

We use a variety of creative, modern resources to enable our children to receive high quality education in the areas of Writing.

Starting with our writing scheme ‘Pathways to write’.

All children from Nursery to Year 6 access sessions in writing during the week, often linked to the topic the children are working on and structured appropriately for their learning. This includes handwriting sessions, spellings and grammar.

Poetry Slam Family Learning Event

October 2024

We were lucky enough to have local poet Plazzy Bag, come to our Family Learning Poetry Slam to perform some of her own work. She talked to us about how she writes poetry and gave us some poetry starters so we could write our own poems. The children enjoyed writing their own poems and performing them.

We were so impressed with the poems the children wrote and will be displaying them and QR codes to access the performances, very soon!

Poetry Family Learning – January 2023

We welcomed families from across school to join us for a session of fun poetry writing. Families worked together to create their own version of Kit Wright’s Magic Box poem. They came up with some brilliant ideas!
