Writing

At LCPS, we follow the Talk 4 Writing learning sequence: our children study an excellent model text to know why it's great; they internalise the text and can re-tell it with confidence; they work with the teacher to write another exciting text using the features of the model; they write their own text applying all the knowledge they have accumulated during the unit of work.

The grammatical skills required to be a great writer are progressively sequenced across the school and are taught in relation to the example texts in each unit. 

Children's writing is continuously assessed in a formative way before their final writing enables summative assessment to take place.

Writer of The Month

We celebrate children's efforts with our monthly Writer of The month awards.  Children's work is selected by the class teacher for showing excellence in content, presentation and effort.  Their work is displayed for the whole school to see on our dedicated board.
