A love of Reading
"So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter."
(2 Thessalonians 2:15)
At St. Mary's we promote a love of reading at all times. Through daily class novels, daily guided reading sessions, reading across the curriculum, library books, class library loans, independent reading and 1 to 1 reading with staff as well as reading day events, trips and guest authors, we do everything we can to make sure that a love of reading is at the heart of everything we do. Please also visit our curriculum page which shows how our new curriculum centers around novels and texts...
We can take a book anywhere we want to and read for pleasure. Teachers are encouraged to take the children to any location in school to do this...
Each year we welcome a famous author into school. This year it was the turn of Andy Tooze!
Reading Festivals - We attend reading festivals with our children whenever the opportunity arises, such as the one at Bowley!
