Writing
• Writing is the subject where pupils
perform less well compared to
reading, mathematics and science.
• In addition to this, there is a
gender gap with girls out performing
the boys in all Key Stages.
Writing
Expectations at the end
of Year 2
• There are high expectations
for the pupils at the end of
Key Stage One.
• The following slides will help
you to understand the
curriculum they are
following and support you
and your child in their
learning.
Text types – What we
have to teach
• Narrative (where pupils have
•
•
been, imaginary settings, fairy
tales and traditional tales,
significant authors)
Non fiction ( labels, captions,
lists, instructions, recounts,
glossaries, non chronological
report, present information)
Poetry (pattern, rhyme and
description, nonsense and
humorous)
The importance of
spelling and punctuation
• During their time in school the
children will be taught phonics
to support their reading and
writing and how to punctuate
sentences in a variety of ways.
For example
Capital letters, full stops, commas
to be used in a list, speech
marks, apostrophes, question
marks, exclamation marks
The importance of
vocabulary
• Make a piece of writing
interesting.
• It is important to model good
language and vocabulary that
they wouldn’t normally hear.
• Adjectives, Verbs, Adverbs,
expanding on a noun, alliteration
and similes ( see handout)
The importance of opening
sentences
• We encourage the children to
vary the way sentences begin.
• Variety of time words (next,
then, after that, finally)
• Use a connective to expand a
sentence (and, so, because)
The importance of grammar
and tense
• We encourage the use of past
and present tense in their
writing.
• This links to our phonic specific
work in phase 6.
The importance of extending
your sentence
• The use of connectives for
example and, so, but, because,
which, however.
• Subordination
• Co ordination
Things you could do!!
• Model good language and vocabulary
that they wouldn’t normally hear.
• Listen stories read by an adult so you
can introduce children to knew
language.
• Get the children say what they want
to write.
• Shopping lists
• Diaries
• Write comics
• Write a story about something if they
have had fantastic experience.
Things you could do!!
Continued
• Weekly spellings
• Practise Phase 6 phonics with them.
• Build/make something then write
about it.
• Newspapers
• Different text types
• Writing should be enjoyable, not a
chore or forced.
• Boys will enjoy writing more if there
is a purpose to it.

Glossary of terms
•
Adjective - The surest way to identify adjectives
is by the ways they can be used:
before a noun, to make the noun’s meaning more
specific (i.e. to modify the noun), or after the
verb be, as its complement. Adjectives cannot be
modified by other adjectives. This distinguishes
them from nouns, which can be.
•
Adverbs -The surest way to identify adverbs is by
the ways they can be used: they can modify a verb,
an adjective, another adverb or even a whole
clause. Adverbs are sometimes said to describe
manner or time. This is often true, but it doesn’t
help to distinguish adverbs from other word
classes that can be used as adverbials, such as
preposition phrases, noun phrases and subordinate
clauses.

•
Adverbial - An adverbial is a word or phrase that
is used, like an adverb, to modify a verb or clause.
Of course, adverbs can be used as adverbials, but
many other types of words and phrases can be
used this way, including preposition phrases and
subordinate clauses.
• Clause - A clause is a special type of phrase
whose head is a verb. Clauses can sometimes
be complete sentences. Clauses may be main
or subordinate.
Glossary continued
•
Conjunction- A conjunction links two words or phrases
together. There are two main types of conjunctions: coordinating conjunctions (e.g. and) link two words or
phrases together as an equal pair subordinating
conjunctions (e.g. when) introduce a subordinate clause
•
Noun- The surest way to identify nouns is by the ways
they can be used after determiners such as the: for
example, most nouns will fit into the frame “The __
matters/matter.” Nouns are sometimes called ‘naming
words’ because they name people, places and ‘things’; this
is often true, but it doesn’t help to distinguish nouns
from other word classes. For example, prepositions can
name places and verbs can name ‘things’ such as actions.
Nouns may be classified as common (e.g. boy, day) or
proper (e.g. Ivan, Wednesday), and also as countable (e.g.
thing, boy) or non-countable (e.g. stuff, money). These
classes can be recognised by the determiners they
combine with.

Apostrophe (')
An apostrophe is a punctuation mark used to indicate
either omitted letters or possession.
Omitted letters
We use an apostrophe for the omitted letter(s) when a
verb is contracted (= shortened).
Comma (,)
A comma is a punctuation mark used to help the reader
by separating parts of a sentence. It sometimes
corresponds to a pause in speech.
Exclamation mark (!)
An exclamation mark is used at the end of a sentence
(which may be exclamative, imperative or declarative) or
an interjection to indicate strong emotion:

Question mark (?)
A question mark is used at the end of an interrogative
sentence (eg Who was that?) or one whose function is a
question (eg You're leaving already?)
Suffix
A suffix is a morpheme which is added to the end of a
word. There are two main categories:
An inflectional suffix changes the tense or grammatical
status of a word, eg from present to past (worked) or
from singular to plural (accidents).
A derivational suffix changes the word class, eg from
verb to noun (worker) or from noun to adjective
(accidental).

Verb
A verb is a word that expresses an action, a happening, a
process or a state. It can be thought of as a 'doing' or
'being' word. In the sentence Mark is tired and wants to
go to bed, 'is', 'wants' and 'go' are verbs. Sometimes two
or more words make up a verb phrase, such as are going,
didn't want, has been waiting.
