Literacy

Literacy - Autumn Term

This autumn, our Literacy lessons will focus on strengthening the fundamental skills needed to become confident and successful writers. We will place a strong emphasis on grammar, punctuation and sentence construction, whilst developing the confidence, pace and resilience needed to write independently across a range of genres.

A key part of our learning journey will be understanding the value of feedback. Children will learn how to reflect on advice from teachers and peers, using it to improve and refine their writing on a daily basis. We want every child to see mistakes as opportunities to learn and to recognise that great writing often comes through careful editing and perseverance.

On Fridays, children will enjoy our exciting Free Write sessions. These pieces will be planned and driven by the children's own interests and ideas, giving them ownership of their writing and the opportunity to be creative. Some of our planned writing projects already include:

• The Search for La Peace - an adventure narrative
• The Squishy Trend - a descriptive writing piece
• K-Pop - emotive song lyrics

We are looking forward to seeing the children's creativity flourish as they develop their writing skills and discover their own unique voice as authors.
