Writing
Leadership of Writing at Westwood Primary School.
Accountable: Mrs Lauraine Barnes and Mrs Kelly Hough
Responsible: Miss Beth Jones, Mr Andrew Rough
At Westwood, we love writing! Through carefully planned English units, our children develop into thoughtful readers and creative writers. Each unit starts with a hook to engage and excite the pupils. We tailor our planning carefully to suit the needs of the children and they will be taught a range of grammar, sentence structure, word/vocabulary building and spelling skills and how to apply this to their writing. During the year, the children will have the opportunity to study high-quality fiction, non-fiction and poetry units.
Our Writing intent:
As writers we:
- Recognise the purpose – WAGOLL (What a good one looks like)
- Know our audience
- Understand what good writing looks like/analyse texts – vocabulary
- Generate ideas (Oracy/drama)
- Draft, edit, revise
- Are critical thinkers
- Have freedom of style
- Justify our choices
- Have stamina
- Publish our writing
