Writing
From September 2024 we will follow a Mastery approach to English through the programme ‘Pathways to Write.’ Units of work are delivered using high quality texts and children in all year groups are given varied opportunities for writing. Skills are built up through repetition within the units, and children apply these skills in the writing activities provided. Many opportunities for widening children’s vocabulary are given through the Pathways to Write approach and this builds on the extensive work we do in school to provide our children with a rich and varied vocabulary.
You will find the end of year expectations for writing, reading and spoken language for each of our year groups in the attached documents. For further detail on the skills that your children are learning on a termly basis, please contact your class teacher.
Year 2 have had an amazing time reading and enjoying the text Grandad's Secret Giant. The unit looks at breaking the text down, exploring new vocabulary, working collaboratively on group tasks, art work and drama.
Children had the opportunity to write in many different genres both independently, as a class and in small groups.
Take a look at some examples of the writing we produced.........

Handwriting
At Butler’s Hill we follow the Achieving Excellence in Handwriting programme for the teaching of handwriting throughout school. This follows a teaching sequence of letters, the use of line guided paper and clear consistent terminology.
The approach progresses through the school with an emphasis being placed on the use of consistent language. Specific handwriting displays in each classroom will reflect the consistency of language and approach used throughout school. Handwriting will be carefully modelled by their teacher using the classroom visualiser and children have specifically designed writing books to apply this. Where appropriate these line guides are used across all subjects including phonics.
