Writing
Our Writing Aim:Our aim is to promote the love of writing for all, ensuring that our pupils secure valuable and transferable skills for future use.

We strive to make writing interesting and engaging, whilst developing their transcription and composition skills quickly to secure good standards.

In writing, the children practice applying their knowledge and securing accurate letter formation. Little Wandle is used to help pupils learn to decode and then spell. As a bridge from Phonics to Spelling patterns, we use Little Wandle’s ‘Bridge to Spelling’ and Y2 Spelling Units. Once pupils have worked through Little Wandle Bridge to Spelling, No Nonsense Spelling is used to build spelling skills progressively.
