Here are two documents, the first is a pdf that shows the current texts we cover in each group in my setting. We are currently trying to ensure that our English curriculum contains a range of representation (different races, disabilities, family make ups etc). In this document, you will also find a world map which either shows where the story is set, or where the author is from, with the aim of showing coverage across the world! (Year 1 and 2 are slightly light currently in my setting so I have added a ‘suggested texts’ page at the end) The second document is a performance poetry progression document. I have attached this because we also try to include diversity in the poems we choose. Please be aware that this is not an exhaustive list - there are so many wonderful texts/poems out there to explore. I would love it, if you got in touch and shared the texts you have studied and the children have enjoyed.

A writing skills progression document for each year group for 1-6. These are derived from the National Curriculum Interim Assessment documents for year 2 and 6. The skills for years 1,3,4 and 5 have been taken from the National Curriculum and then mapped across the different year groups to ensure that they build skills in order to ensure progression. I have also produced a SEND writing log based on the pre Key Stage skills outlined in the National Curriculum, which I have broken into the relevant stages. They have been in place for some time in my current setting and have really helped improve our writing data. As a school, we use the document once per term reflecting on the term’s work. It is a working document that the children use to reflect on their own learning and the teachers use to assess writing levels. In Years 2 and 6 you will see the document is slightly different - this is because in my current setting they are used more frequently for moderation purposes. This is an editable version of the document that you can personalise.
