Writing

At Peacehaven Heights, our children are exposed to a literacy rich curriculum. In the early years, there is a strong focus on developing communication and language skills and physical dexterity.

In Reception, we continue this and start with an introduction to the context through a key text where we focus on learning new vocabulary, speaking in full sentences, retelling the story and exploring structure and features.

By the end of Key Stage 1, our aim is for all children to have mastered writing in full sentences and explore with different sentence types. This is so that, by the time they reach Key Stage 2 they can then develop, expand and voice their own thoughts and opinions through their writing.

Throughout the entire school, we revisit, revise and recap all of the skills children need to be able to write.
