WRITING AT RIVER VIEW

Here at River View in Writing, we aim for each child to have a positive attitude towards writing and to see themselves as a confident and successful writers. To do this we help them to apply their knowledge of phonics and spelling, be exposed to and have the opportunity to write in a range of genres and to write clearly, accurately and effectively for a range of audiences and purposes. Every child's writing should be grammatically correct, using appropriate age related punctuation. Y2-Y6 start the academic year with half a term focussing on punctuation and grammar using the 'Place Value of Punctuation and Grammar'  (PVPG)' Scheme from Grammarsaurus, which we will continue to embed and apply during writing units for the reimander of each academic year. The children are encouraged to apply their Grammarsaurus knowledge when drafting and editing their  writing.  Y1 start their PVPG units in Spring 2. As a school we are always trying to promote handwriting and in September 2024, this became a school priority. Children are awarded star writer certificates  and pen licences to celebrate their handwriting.

 

 

Writing Days - Shakespeare - June 2024

 

On Monday 10th and Tuesday 11th June, a company called 'West End in Schools' came to work with the children from Years 1 to 6 in order to help us put on a performance of Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. It was such a wonderful experience for all the children and there are defintely some budding actors and actresses here at River View!

 

Alongside performing, children also procuded poetry using the play as a stimulus and these can be seen on individual class webpages.
