  3. Literacy In writing we work hard to achieve these targets: • To write in complete sentences. • To write increasingly complex sentences. • To use capital letters and full-stops. • To use commas, exclamation marks and question marks appropriately. • To use ‘wow’ words for interest. • To use a variety of sentence openers.

  4. Literacy Reading • In school children read independently or with a reading buddy for 30 minutes every day. • The children also take part in a guided reading session each week, followed up with a comprehension task. • Reading at home should still be done on a daily basis if possible.
