English at Banks Road
WoW – Writing on the Wall Project in Years 5 and 6.
Pupils are now working on their final drafts, editing their unique Superhero characters, story lines and plots.
The completed comic strips stories will be published in a Banks Road Superhero book.
Once they are printed, every class will be able to read these wonderfully exciting stories.
We want all of our pupils to develop a love of reading that stays with them into adulthood.
‘Story Barn’ also visited each class to help bring stories and books to life through storytelling and drama.
There was lots of excitement when children and their families visited our Book Fair at school recently.
Reading Mornings
The children and their parents/carers took part in a ‘Books for Breakfast’ morning. All of the children were able to take home a book. They later visited Speke Retail Park where they were treated to a ‘behind the scenes’ look at B&Q and W. H. Smith.
Parents and carers were invited to our Reading Morning this term, so they could see for themselves, how reading is taught at our school. Parent visited classrooms and took part in a wide range of reading activities with their children.
Events taking place
Parents!

What a fantastic World Book Day 2018 we all had!
Not only did all of the children and their parents/ carers make such a wonderful effort, even our staff were unrecognisable!
