Hacton Literacy Week

March 23, 2015
Excitement and gasps of suspense filled the hall as our 2015 Literacy Week was launched by professional storyteller Phil McDermott. The theme for our Literacy Week this year is ‘Classical Stories’ and each year group will be learning about both the classical and modern day versions of some of our country's favourite stories:
  • EYFS: Beatrix Potter Stories
  • Year 1: The Jolly Postman
  • Year 2: The Secret Garden
  • Year 3: Oliver Twist
  • Year 4: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
  • Year 5: The Wind in the Willows
  • Year 6: The Railway Children
With a week full of activities linked to the different texts, watch this space to find out more about the work we have been doing and experiences we have had. Enjoy Literacy Week!
