Our English curriculum is carefully planned to ensure progression of skills, as well as coverage of genres, so that the children grow up as fluent readers and writers. These skills are then applied in other subjects.

Please be aware that these are working documents and, as such, will be updated regularly.  

Chatteris Literacy Festival

Year 1 met author and illustrator, Ellie Sandall, as part of the Chatteris Literacy Festival.  She told them all about her book and showed them how to draw Bertie.  On their way to the Literacy Festival the children also walked to the library where Louise showed them lots of books and she gave them some ideas about how to choose books and showed them how to use the computer to borrow books.

Author Visit: Hannah Gold

Hannah visited Glebelands and delivered an assembly sharing information about the books she has recent and what inspired her to write the stories.  She also hinted at the new book she was busy working on.  Her visit was thoroughly enjoyed by all!

Author Visit: Jack Meggitt-Phillips

We were very lucky to be visited by Jack Meggitt-Phillips author of The Beast and the Bethany series who provided an insight into how he writes his stories.  He also held a Q&A session and signed books.
