- Oral Language: This strand focuses on the development of speaking and listening skills.
- Reading: This strand focuses on learning and developing reading skills, including comprehension strategies and reading across a variety of genres.
- Writing: We have our own writing policy. Pupils will learn and develop 6 different writing genres during their 8 years of primary education:
– Narrative (telling a story)
– Recount (telling what happened)
– Persuasive (convincing the reader)
– Explanation (explaining how or why something happens/works)
– Report (describes what something was like and gives information on it)
– Procedural (guides the reader how to do something, in steps)
Other key areas of learning include spelling, phonics, grammar, free writing, dictionary work, vocabulary and much more, under these strands.
