SPAG
(Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation)
Grammar is an important aspect of our curriculum as it enables the children to develop the knowledge and skills needed to improve their writing. Within Year 1 we cover various different objectives that will all enable the children to become confident, independant writers. We make the lessons as fun and engaging as possible in order to get the best from the children.
