Writing enables children to communicate with themselves and others, whilst allowing them to express and convey their knowledge, thoughts and ideas. Our teaching of Writing at Christ Church is progressive, challenging and carefully planned to meet the needs of all of our children.
We aim for them to acquire a wide vocabulary, a strong understanding of grammar and punctuation and a secure knowledge of the linguistic conventions for writing. We teach our children so that they are to be able to write clearly, accurately and coherently, adapting their language and style for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences. At Christ Church, we ensure writing opportunities are varied, wide-ranging and stimulating, using high-quality texts, video clips, short animations or images and shared experiences as inspiration.
