Writing at Tanworth in Arden

At Tanworth-in-Arden we believe that the best writing comes from children that are engaged, excited and interested in their class topics and themes.  All writing at Tanworth is for a purpose and linked with high quality engaging texts.  Below are the curriculum expectations for each year group.  Teachers are skilled in meeting these expectations in an engaging and meaningful way.

Writing Competitions

Each year group gets the opportunity to enter a writing competition where, if their work is chosen, it will get published in a book! Becoming an author at Primary school is a real achievement and the children are incredibly proud of themselves. You can see the books- that they have been published in- hanging in our library area. Please go and have a read! 

Writing Criteria:

Each year group has a different set of criteria that the children should be able to do by the end of the year to meet their age expectation. The children have to show that they can include certain punctuation, layout techniques, spellings and grammatical features into their writing. 

Teachers plan the writing so that the build up to a final piece includes lessons on certain grammar or punctuation, that can then  be included in that style of writing.

See below the writing objectives for each year group:
