MELBOURNE JUNIOR SCHOOL

We aim to instil in our pupils a love of reading, the ability to talk and listen well and to write for pleasure and purpose. We recognise the importance of literacy skills and how these link with life outcomes and achievement. As teachers we present positive role models in our use of language, love of reading and our writing... We aim to develop pupils' abilities within an integrated programme of Speaking & Listening, Reading & Writing. Pupils will be given opportunities to interrelate the requirements of English within a broad and balanced approach to the teaching of English across the curriculum, with opportunities to consolidate and reinforce taught literacy skills... We have a range of enrichment activities that take place every year that celebrate all the different elements of English.
