English: Writing

Intent

Writing is a crucial part of our curriculum at Hebden Royd. By the end of Year Six we intend our children to have developed a love of writing and to be able to express their thoughts and ideas clearly and creatively through the written word. We also intend to create writers who can re-read, edit and improve their own writing, and enable pupils to be able to confidently use the essential skills of grammar, punctuation and spelling. In English lessons, children are exposed to inspiring and challenging texts to build on reading skills and provide an understanding of the features of each genre thus providing opportunities for EVERYONE to be a writer. We want children to love reading and enjoy writing. We want them to express themselves, be creative and expand their imagination through a broad range of stimulus including carefully chosen books, extracts, poems, films and experiences.
