Writing

Our aim is for all Danehill pupils to become passionate and successful writers, who show competence in both transcription (spelling and handwriting) and composition (articulating ideas and structuring them in speech and writing). 

As writers, our children have opportunities to share what they know, think and care about, demonstrating who they are through their writing. They will learn how to plan, revise and evaluate their writing effectively.  They will be able to write down their ideas fluently and legibly, spelling words quickly and accurately by knowing the relationship between sounds and letters in words. 

The class will become a community of writers who work together to develop, articulate and communicate ideas. They will organise their ideas coherently for a reader, for a set audience, purpose and context, using a wide knowledge of vocabulary and grammar effectively.   

To achieve this, we follow the Writing for Pleasure approach
