This year, children at Langley Park worked really hard with their reading and writing as part of the PYP. Teachers have been working hard this term to assess children's progress in order to identify any gaps they may have. By doing this, it gives them every opportunity to hit the ground running next year.
Below are just some of the writing outcomes that children have been working on this term.
Year 5:
A carefully laid out non-fiction piece of writing based upon significant members of the monarchy.
Year 6:
With a really busy term with PGL, young enterprise and their show Year 6 have still been able to produce some high quality writing using all their skills they've developed and honed over this year. Well done!

Year 4:

Year 2:
