Writing

Intent

At Bearbook Combined School, we facilitate a supportive environment that allows children to develop a love for writing, embracing the functional skills required alongside promoting their own personal flair for writing. We strive to provide a platform for children to express themselves confidently, through both spoken and written English. We want children to understand that writing is a powerful tool that can be used to express their personal voice, and provides a channel to communicate with the wider world. We provide meaningful opportunities for children to find pleasure in the writing process, including: discussion, reading, sharing, drafting, performing, reflecting and publishing. We want children to leave Bearbrook feeling empowered to express themselves through the spoken and written form of English.
