National Poetry Day!

30/9/2020

0 Comments

 
Tomorrow marks National Poetry Day across the country. Schools around the UK will be celebrating some of literature's finest poems and the theme for this year is vision.  With so many different forms of poetry including couplets, tongue twisters, shape poems, calligrams, acrostic, riddles, limericks, haiku, kennings and odes - we are taking on the challenge of exploring some of these text types further. The aim is for each class throughout school to create a poem linked with this year's theme, but covering a range of styles. We can't wait to share these with you and hope to have a display of some of our favourites very shortly!
If you want to get involved in this year's poetry day, why not challenge your family to a poetry battle? Perhaps you could have a theme of something linked to home? 
Good luck!

Useful Literacy websites to support home learning

21/9/2020

With all of our students having settled well into the new academic year, it has been lovely to see and hear of all the fantastic progress they are making towards their phonics, reading, writing and SPAG objectives.
​That said, we are always looking for ways in which we can further support our students and parents/carers. Attached below are a list of useful websites we have compiled which we feel may benefit children in either securing, refining or consolidating some of the Literacy learning they encounter within the classroom. 
We hope you find this to be a useful tool and one which encourages, motivates and engages those young minds!

Roald Dahl Day!

14/9/2020

0 Comments

 
Yesterday marked an important day in the calendar for Roald Dahl enthusiasts as it was Roald Dahl Day. This day is celebrated annually on 13th September to raise the profile of the fantastic work that Roald Dahl contributed to encouraging young readers. In school, we have made sure to celebrate his valued contribution through discovering more about his famous works. Classes have been tasked with investigating one of his well known books and engaging in a lesson linked to their chosen text. Some children have been busy designing and making a tortoise linked to Esio Trot with knowledge of ratio and proportion, others have been creating their own perilous potion recipes linked to George's Marvellous Medicine. We have even had children creating their own characters who's personality does not match their appearance, much like in the case of The BFG. All in all, it has been an excellent opportunity for our students to learn more about the fantastic works that Roald Dahl produced and further their understanding of why he still remains such an influential children's author!

International Literacy Day!

8/9/2020

0 Comments

 
Did you know today is International Literacy Day? The event is an annual awareness day held each year on the 8th of September which marks the importance of Literacy to all countries and cultures. Whilst we are always promoting and practicing our Literacy skills across school, today our students will gain an insight into more of what this day represents and why Literacy is so important.
From reading to writing, our pupils are constantly developing and broadening their application of Literacy-based learning and should be immensely proud of the hard work they put in to harnessing new skills. So, why not celebrate International Literacy Day in a way that your child best enjoys? Perhaps you could share your favourite story with your child before bed tonight and explain what made you fall in love with the book? Maybe you could create your own 'unexpected end to the day' story around the dinner table? Or why not enjoy some digital Literacy online. Dig deeper into some of your child's favourite genres through BBC Bitesize using the link below:

Happy International Literacy Day!
