Writing

Every child is a WRITER at Propect Hill Junior School

We have high achievement expectations for all writers. We see all children as writers and teach strategies that lead to greater independence and ensure all children remain part of our writing community. We make the purposes and audiences for writing clear to all children for both their class and personal writing projects. We teach what writing can do and how powerful being a writer can be. We also model and promote the social aspects of writing and peer support in all classrooms.

Writing purpose

Children explore writing purposes and understand the writing range. Throughout the academic year they will explore and write for many purposes linked to their class text and topic. Some of the writing purposes are listed below.
