In EYFS, children have opportunities to practice their spelling as they learn a new phoneme-grapheme correspondence. Pupils are then given the opportunity to have a go at using the skill before using their creativity to independently plan, write and draft their own piece of writing based on the same genre, in a similar style. Teachers in Year 2 – Year 6 follow the ‘Write Stuff’ framework, which enables them to model to pupils how to construct ambitious, highly effective sentences based on the skills (lenses from ‘The Writing Rainbow’) being taught within that lesson though sentence stacking. This cross-curricular creative approach ‘hooks’ children into their writing and ensures that they have opportunities to apply the knowledge gained in their project lessons within their writing. ![]() Lenses from ‘The Writing Rainbow’ and ‘The Reading Rainbow’ are introduced to children in a progressive manner ensuring knowledge and understanding of Reading and Writing skills are sequential and provide regular opportunities for children to apply newly learnt skills.Īs a school we endeavour to ensure that the writing genres chosen link to each classes project where appropriate. ![]() In Foundation Stage 2 and Year 1, teachers follow a two-week programme based on Jane Considine’s ‘Hooked on Books’ and ‘The Write Stuff’.

We develop our writing skills as we progress from mark making in the EYFS, to using a range of sentence types in KS2.
