Reading & Writing

A Summary of All-Things-Reading at Crossley Street

Check out the slideshow below for an overview of some of the things we do in school to promote and celebrate reading!

Author workshops!

We've been very fortunate so far this year to have some published author visits in our school diary! We've had a graphic novel visit from the authors of 'Pets Tell Tales', as well as having Vicky Psarias join us to promote her new book all about Greek folk tales and legends! This has inspired some excellent Buzz Writing projects and we're excited to have more visits booked in for the Spring and Summer term!

Buzz Writing Winners!

Here are this term's Buzz Writing winners!

Mystery Reader

In Early Years and Key Stage One, we are very excited to welcome 'Mystery Readers' into our classes.  We ask parents and grandparents to volunteer to come along and read a story to the class that their child is in.  Who the reader is remains a mystery until they arrive at the classroom door.  Our children love seeing who the Mystery Reader is going to be!  Please email your child's class teacher if you would like to come and join us and be a Mystery Reader yourself!
