Children learn to communicate and understand themselves and the world in which they live through the four main areas of language: speaking, listening, reading and writing.
We place great emphasis upon the development of these skills which are central to the curriculum, not only in dedicated Literacy sessions, but through the linking of learning with other subject areas too.
Children bring home reading books daily to share with parents and carers. Each child has a Reading diary offering them an opportunity to work toward achieving a specific ‘Reading Challenge’ - both children and parents gain a great deal of enjoyment from working toward this challenge and are rightly proud of gaining special Reading Challenge certificates during weekly ‘Celebration’ assemblies.
The school also has a library. All classes visit the library regularly to browse, research, borrow and return books.
