Specifically the objectives were: To raise the attainment in writing of an underachieving Year Two class through a creative approach. To improve pupils attitudes towards, and engagement with, the writing process. To make clear links to the Primary Framework Objectives for text, sentence and word level within an integrated approach.

Engaging primary school learners through a creative curriculum

Aim: At Wheatfield we wanted to tackle the underachievement of our more able children by reorganising our curriculum to motivate all learners and create opportunities for more challenge.

Aim: To develop a more creative curriculum in foundation subjects and Science across Key Stage 1 and 2, to create a more personalised curriculum incorporating key life skills that could transfer into life long learning skills and to improve the use of the local area and increase out of classroom learning experiences.
