• Some amazing grammar work

  Fri 29 Sep 2023

  In July, all of the teachers had some fantastic training on punctuation and grammar, with Mitch from Grammarsaurus. 

   

  This week, it's been the children's turn to become experts too.  Within Literacy lessons across the school, you could hear lots of talk about subjects, nouns, full stops and capital letters. Take a look at the year 5/6 class page to see how they have been tackling their grammar work.
