Each day your child will have an English lesson based on a key text linked to the class topic for the half term. All English lessons involve your children taking part in speaking and listening activities. The teacher teaches the children a key writing skill each lesson. Each child is clear on what learning they are developing. Children apply punctuation, spelling and grammar skills through a range of written tasks.

Children also take part in a daily guided reading session where they will develop their reading skills. Reading is taught systematically by a clear acquisition of reading skills,

acquired from focus reading teaching. They will read with their teacher at least once a week and have various reading activities to complete when working independently.
