Our Writing Champions

We are very proud of our writing champions at Saint Peter's. They have been chosen for their passion for writing. They have lots of special jobs throughout the year, including helping monitor writing across each year groups.

At St Peter's we teach writing through the Ready, Steady, Write scheme. These units units of work inspire our children through high quality literature. All year groups immerse themselves in a new "vehicle text" every half term: this vocabulary rich text drives learning and hosts a wealth of writing opportunities.

Ready, Steady, Write

Immerse

Our children are hooked into the 'vehicle text' using props, drama and character role play. This section of learning is vital to engage children in the learning of the whole unit. 

Analyse

In this section of the unit, the children will learn to identify specific writing techniques in an 'example text'; this supports children to meet the requirements of the end goal-independent write

Plan

This stage allows the children to build on their learning and demonstrate this when planning their independent writing.

Write

During the final stage of learning, daily modelled writing takes place. Children then have the opportunity to apply their writer's skills and knowledge  to independently write, draft, revise and edit a piece of writing.
