At Drew Primary School, our English curriculum has been based around great texts to support creative writing. Lessons are built around hooks, collative discussions and opportunities to build as many connections within other areas of the curriculum. We have made a conscious effort to expose children to a variety of genres repeatedly across their time at Drew, to build depth and independence. 

Following this page, you will see how each unit is supported by the same themed class novel to develop children’s understanding and expose them to further knowledge that will support them in their learning.

Accelerated Reader puts our children in the driver’s seat. We guide the children, whilst they engage in quizzes. This is a drive to support all children hone into developing their reading skills with authentic practice—encouraging growth. All children use their USO details to log in. Your child’s class detail will have the USO details. 

Oxford Owl is an award-winning website full of expert advice, educational resources and free eBooks to support children's learning at primary school and at home. All children use their USO details to log in. If you need your child’s USO details please let the class teacher know.
