Reading
At Miriam Lord Primary School we work hard to develop children's reading skills and to promote a love of books and text. We want children to be confident readers, who enjoy reading a wide range of texts and can talk about books and authors. The schools follows the Oxford Reading Scheme. As well as teaching the skills necessary to do this within guided reading sessions, we have invested in our children by building a state of the art library full of exciting books.
Parent Workshops
Thank you to every parent who has joined us this week in our Reception classes to learn more about phonics. Learning to read is the most important thing we teach at Miriam Lord so we appreciate the support from families.
Sharing Stories
We know how important it is to share stories with our pupils at Miriam Lord Primary School. Listening to, and sharing stories, helps build a better understanding of the world, creates empathetic learners and allows to live thousands of different lives as different characters.
Spooky Bus Winners
Mr Harrison had a lovely time yesterday with two of our winners from our recent Spooky Bus event. Who doesn't love the chance to share a spooky story with a biscuit and a hot chocolate? We can't wait to see what we have planned for our next half-term event.
Parent Library Sessions
We love Wednesdays at Miriam Lord because our families come to visit us in Nursery for a library session. There is no greater joy in the world than seeing pupils sharing a book. It is how we learn and make connections with the world around us. Come and join us if you can.
Power of Reading Case Study Videos
We have been so lucky to work alongside CLPE to implement the Power of Reading over the past five years at Miriam Lord. We value this partnership, and were delighted when they asked us to be a CLPE Associate School, as they wanted to recognise our commitment towards promoting high standards of reading, books and literature with our children. They visited us recently to make videos of our practice, to share these with other schools nationally, and use them as case studies of strong practice. You can find them on YouTube at the links below.
Miriam Lord Book Bus
Keep your eyes peeled around school for our brand new Miriam Lord Book Bus! Another way to find a great read and enjoy a book. Well done to our Reading Team and Change Team for helping Mrs Saunders get this wonderful new resource prepared and ready for use.
