English
Welcome to our English curriculum page, here you will find out more about our approach to grammar, spellings and writing (if you would like to find out more about phonics and reading please take a look at those curriculum pages.) We use The Write Stuff, whole-school writing programme, to ensure all children develop strong literacy skills. It builds pupils' confidence with sentence structure and widens the repertoire of writing options for pupils. Grammar is taught through the lessons embedded through the use of the Writing Rainbow (see image below).
TALK FOR WRITING
To get a taste of the Talk for Writing process have a look at the chart below. Our baseline assessment is known as the Cold Write and the children's final piece is known as their Hot Write. If you would like to find out a bit more take a look at their website.
GRAMMAR
SPELLING
We have adopted the No Nonsense Spelling programme which takes a little and often approach. Below you will see some of the strategies our children use to remember spellings.
HANDWRITING
We use Letter Join and our children adopt a cursive style from KS1.
If you would like to support your child at home with handwriting please take a look at the Letter-join home guide below.
