Building Foundations: Key Stage 2 – Primary English
This engaging and structured KS2 English class is designed for students aged 7-11, following the British national curriculum.
Reading Comprehension: We develop strong reading skills through varied texts, teaching inference, summarisation, and appreciation of literature. Writing Fundamentals: Students learn to craft clear narratives, descriptions, and simple reports, with emphasis on structure, grammar, and spelling. Language Skills: We focus on building vocabulary, understanding parts of speech, and basic punctuation to enhance overall communication.
Lessons incorporate a variety of fun and interactive strategies:
Storytelling and Role-Play: Children explore narratives creatively, boosting imagination and oral expression. Group Activities: Collaborative games and discussions encourage sharing ideas and listening actively. Creative Projects: Hands-on tasks like drawing stories or making word puzzles make concepts memorable.
This supportive environment fosters:
Confidence in Language: Young learners gain the assurance to express themselves clearly in speaking and writing. Cross-Curricular Links: Skills integrate with other subjects, supporting broader academic growth. Lifelong Curiosity: We nurture a love for reading and learning that extends beyond the classroom.
