Wroughton Infant School

Writing

We have produced our own writing scheme based on the 'Walk for Writing' approach at Wroughton Infants School.  We teach the children over a 3-week unit using a "Learn it, Change it and Write it" approach which encourages the children to innovate familiar texts.  We expose the children to a variety  of high quality and vocabulary rich texts to inspire their own writing and we ensure that they children are writing creatively with a purpose. 

Handwriting

We follow our Phonics and Reading Scheme "Little Wandle" when teaching handwriting in EYFS and Year 1.  The children are taught how to form their letters correctly and begin to learn how to keep their letters a consistent size with appropriate spaces between the words. 

In Year 2  we teach the children to join their letters up and we follow our own cursive handwriting scheme as shown below.  We teach children how to ensure they have clear ascenders and descenders and how to form capital letters of a relevant size to their writing.
