Writing at Great Binfields 

At Great Binfields, we believe that every child should learn to write through exciting real life experiences and opportunities. It is important that children have a real understanding of the purpose and audience for their writing and enjoy sharing this with the school and local community. By sharing excellent writing examples from a variety of different authors, we inspire children to emulate their styles and use this in their own writing. We encourage children to read their work for enjoyment, to read it aloud to others and provide audiences for writing. We want children to have an understanding that writing has a real purpose and that word choice and style can bring about change. Throughout our curriculum, we provide a range of writing opportunities in a variety of genres and text types. We also promote writing for pleasure and constantly reinforce how reading and writing are so closely linked.
