English Curriculum

 

At Featherstone Wood, we believe it is our responsibility to teach our children to speak, read and write fluently. We wish for them to effectively communicate their thoughts and feelings about the world around them. 

We are passionate about instilling a love for reading within all our children to best support their learning. Our variety of rich texts aim to excite our children about the knowledge they can find in the pages of a book. Reading in the classroom grants children with the opportunity to read individually, in small groups or as a class. The classrooms have engaging reading areas, complimenting our school library that is full of exciting texts.

Big Writing
Every Friday, our children have the opportunity to write creatively, acting as a consolidation task from that weeks learning. The children work independently to apply and solidify their skills.
