My name is Mrs Bashir and I am the writing lead at MCPA. Writing has always been a subject that I have enjoyed teaching as it allows children to use their imagination and express themselves. I believe that writing opportunities should inspire and excite children to develop a lifelong, enthusiastic attitude towards writing. The journey that our children take in writing is wonderful to see. They begin with lots of opportunities for oracy and mark marking in EYFS and build on this early writing skill to become fantastic authors, entertainers, informers and poets by the time they leave us in year 6.
British Values
Key texts allow for discussion on fundamental British values e.g. The Boy at the Back of the Class (Respect and Tolerance), Rainbow Fish (Respect and Tolerance & Individual Liberty) and Pig Heart Boy (Rule of Law). Writing allows children to develop their imagination and be creative, promoting Individual Liberty.
Cultural Capital
Writing lessons provide the children with the knowledge and skills that a pupil can draw upon to be successful in society, their career and the world of work.
SMSC
Key texts allow for discussion on moral and social issues (The Wrong Shoes and The Boy at the Back of the Class). Different cultures are explored through key texts (linked to writing curriculum- The Boy at the Back of the Class/ Malala/ One Wish) and events such as Refugee Week - Malala/ The Journey). Oracy opportunities allow for discussion on recognising right and wrong; understanding consequences; investigating moral and ethical issues and offering reasoned views. Writing lessons allow children to use their social skills in different contexts; working well with others (hot seating, debating, conscience alley, group discussions).
Personal Development
Writing is a tool for thinking and learning; it is an essential life skill.
Here at MCPA we believe that writing significantly contributes to a child’s capacity and confidence to participate in society and opens the door to educational and personal growth. Emotional expression and exploration, reflection, decision making and creative experimentation are all nurtured through writing. Writing is a wonderful way to encourage social-emotional growth, something that we believe will support and benefit our children throughout their lives.
