English - Reading

In Years 3 and 4, reading is split into a focus on the class novel, which is read daily by the class teacher, and age appropriate texts which are linked to the wider curriculum topic theme.

There is a focus on developing ‘deeper reading’ and fluency within daily lessons. Throughout the year, pupils analyse a range of fiction texts, non-fiction texts, poems and images in order to build their understanding and comprehension skills.

Lessons are an opportunity for children to immerse themselves in the world of stories and encounter new and exciting authors.

English - Writing

In Years 3 and 4, the curriculum focuses on developing children’s writing skills across a wide range of text types and genres.

Writing across the wider curriculum also ensures pupils write for different purposes and enables them to showcase their learning across the curriculum.
