Our aim is to provide for all our children, a stimulating, relevant and interactive environment in which they can enjoy being creative and purposeful writers, allowing them to confidently develop the skills to communicate clearly with a range of audiences and in different contexts.
We foster a text approach to writing throughout Shenton. The text is used to create meaningful contexts for writing fiction and non-fiction and is used as a stimulus for different forms of writing.
The long term plan below will indicate the books your child will cover this year.
Learning to spell correctly is a key skill for developing competent writers.
At Shenton, children are taught to use a range of spelling strategies to help them spell accurately.

Handwriting is an essential skill that plays an important role in written composition. At Shenton, we ensure that all pupils are guided towards developing the ability to produce fluent, legible and eventually speedy joined-up handwriting and understanding the different forms of handwriting used for different purposes. Our intention is to make handwriting an automatic process that does not interfere with creative and mental thinking.
