Writing
As writers...
Children at St Bernadette's will develop the skills to:
- Write in a variety of genres being aware of the audience, purpose and context
- Understand the use of grammar
- Broaden their language and vocabulary through etymology
- Use their imagination to write creatively
- Present work that is neat and clearly organised
- Continue to develop their writing across a range of curriculum areas
- Plan, edit and evaluate their work and the work of others
How do we teach writing?
Writing is taught through a range of stimuli which includes books, film clips, artefacts, visitors and real-life experiences. Teachers model the writing process and demonstrate the ambitious high standards expected of all children.
If we use a rich vocabulary when talking to children and we talk about language and its etymology, the children will use this knowledge and it will help them bring their writing to life.
