Writing Vision Statement

At Fairview, we aim to establish a rich reading environment that demonstrates the written word in all its forms and shares how writing can be used for thinking, communication and as a means of expression. Across the school, children will be exposed to rich examples of writing, both on and off the page, texts that will enable them to absorb the rhythm and patterns of language, to reflect the cultural, social and linguistic diversity of writing and to introduce them to a world beyond the familiar. We aim to develop children to become word conscious by creating a language rich environment, focusing on enriching vocabulary, understanding what words mean and the ways language is used effectively within writing. We want children to become passionate writers, who are inspired by the creative and meaningful opportunities given to support and challenge them. This will encourage them to become confident, capable and enthusiastic writers, who will develop a love of writing.
