Alongside our English curriculum, we are keen to offer opportunities that allow our pupils to develop a love of reading, writing and oracy. 

Wells Festival of Literature 2025

On Thursday 23rd October, Buzzard Class went on an inspiring trip to the Wells Festival of Literature, where we listened to author Sam Sedgman share how he creates his books. Many of us enjoyed the opportunity to purchase signed copies of his stories, deepening our love of reading and appreciation of authorship — supporting our progress in English reading and literary appreciation.

Robin class have invited parents into their classroom on a Wednesday afternoon to read them stories. Rowan's Mummy was the first to come in and she read their favourite story books from home, Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present, Where the Wild Things Are and Mr Gumpy's Outing. It was wonderful to have a new voice reading to the children and seeing them react to the stories. 

Robin class each chose their favourite book to read and display as a recommendation to others. We created a colourful display in our school hall to inspire others to share our love of reading.
