English
Please find below our updated English curriculum, based on the Bishop Wilkinson’s Catholic Education Trust’s curriculum offer. The impressive literacy canon is matched by a focus on the four pillars of the ‘literate child’.
a) Oracy b) Reading c) English Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling and d) Writing
Our Writing Journey
Each little step in the video shows our journey from initial consonant, vowel, consonant words in Reception – to extended written pieces in Key Stage 2.
We know our writing journey isn’t ever finished at the end of Year 6 – but it is a never ending story – so forgive our imperfections or the odd bit of missing punctuation. We are working with our children to help them to correct, improve and edit their work, also.
Our children are demonstrating progress every time they put pen to paper because they are knowing more and remembering more.
For those children who find writing difficult, we adapt our teaching to accommodate their needs either through differentiation or by support. You may also see examples of ‘in the moment’ feedback, or the use of Widgit to support their learning.
Our 2-minute video summarises our journey – please watch it!
