At Manorfield, we’ve developed a unique Writing Journey from Years 1 to 6, based on a skills-focused model that combines Talk for Writing and teaching backwards. This ensures every child has the opportunity to build strong writing skills. Our whole-school writing curriculum covers fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, with each unit connected to the Learning Theme and supported by high-quality class texts, including classic literature.
In Reception, we use Drawing Club to inspire early writing. It encourages children to draw stories, connecting sounds to letters and building writing skills in a fun, engaging way. This approach helps develop confidence and creativity in young writers.
