What goes on in our English programmes?
Lessons are structured to help students investigate the craft of writing with examples from notable children’s literature e.g. How did the writer make the character memorable? What were some of the writing techniques he used? How can we emulate them?
Students are encouraged to learn grammar through a mix of implicit and explicit instruction (E.g. Noticing patterns in different sentences vs listing of grammar rules)
Students hone their reading skills with integrated phonics components that include catchy songs / rhymes to stimulate their interest
Students engage in a wide range of themes (E.g. Biodiversity, young game changers) throughout the year to ignite their curiosity in the world around us
“Develop Your Voice” modules encourage students to be active listeners and articulate speakers
