Writing at Hitherfield

Writing at Hitherfield begins with a quality text by a significant author. This text provides the context for learning and development of skills. Children become immersed in the text through carefully planned and engaging starting points; they might have a visitor to their classroom, a message from a character or a drama experience. Opportunities for developing punctuation, grammar and spelling are embedded throughout the sequence of work, along with regular written outcomes. Each sequence of work will result in a purposeful and sustained piece of writing.   

Children at Hitherfield also have opportunities to produce some non-narrative writing each term. When appropriate this outcome may be linked to the Geography or History topic being studied, providing children with the opportunity to demonstrate their developing understanding of the world and its history.
