Writing

Our Intent

At St Botolph’s, we want every child to be a successful writer. We start in Foundation stage with a handwriting scheme which allows the children to learn to form their letters correctly. This is then followed throughout the school with an aim of all children using a cursive font from an early age. In our teaching of SPaG skills, we aim for children to be able to use the key non-negotiable skills within their writing. Our aim is to have exciting writing opportunities to engage the children from a range of stimulus’ whilst teaching a range of genres.

Planning our Writing Lessons

We follow a range of phases in  our writing to help us develop our skills. These phases include a SPaG phase, a writing phase and an editing and improving phase. All of our phases start with a book and builds up to a piece of writing based on what we have been reading.
