In Literacy grammar, comprehension, spelling and reading form a
very important skills basis for general development. The children have
regular weekly lessons in these areas of the subject.
Creative Writing
We are developing our writing skills by learning how to use the punctuation of
speech; how to plan, draft and present our work; how to write for a particular
purpose, including instructions, reports and stories. We are broadening our
vocabulary and using it inventive ways, for example in sound poems and acrostic
poems.
We welcome Year 3 to join as many clubs as possible which are
open to the juniors. These clubs include Choir, Fitness, Art and Football. Some children also have violin, recorder and flute lessons.
