Writing
At St Matthew's, writing is taught and embedded throughout the wider curriculum. Our curriculum has been desigend with our children in mind, and is constantly evolving with their needs in mind. We teach Writing in such a way that it links seemlessly with reading and the wider curriculum. In Literacy Lessons, children develop skills through reading and writing to work towards a piece of extended writing once a fortnight which is linked to their topic. Understanding of grammar, punctuation and spelling is constantly interwoven with our writing curriculum. In Key Stage One and Early Years, writing is seemlessly linked to phonics to enable children to learn to read and write well.
