Writing
At Morton Trentside, we believe that writing is a lifelong skill that empowers children to communicate, express themselves and succeed in the wider world. We strive to develop confident, enthusiastic writers who take pride in their work and understand the power of the written word. Through engaging and meaningful experiences, children are encouraged to use their imagination, creativity and individuality to craft stories, share ideas and write for a range of purposes and audiences. We foster a love of writing by celebrating children's achievements, nurturing their creativity and providing opportunities for them to develop the knowledge and skills needed to become effective, independent writers both now and in the future.
Writing Documents
Below are documents that explain our writing curriculum further.
- Writing Non-negotiables: this clarifies our 'non-negotiables' for each year group i.e. the key skills that each child works towards and ends the year being able to do.
- Writing Progression - Word, Sentence and Paragraph: this outlines the build-up of skills over the year groups of key strands of the writing process linked to words (how morphology is used to create individual words and how word choices impact on effect), sentence structure (the use of different and accurate sentences to achieve the purpose) and paragraphs (how ideas can be grouped to ensure the audience can follow ideas).
Writing Progression - Composition, Cohesion and Effect: this outlines the build-up of skills over the year groups of key strands of the writing process linked to composition (how a text is created through word choices and consideration of purpose / audience), cohesion (the flow of ideas through a text) and effect (whether the text achieves the intended purpose).
