In Years 3 and 4, children are expected to read and understand short texts, as well as to develop basic English writing skills. Pupils learn new vocabulary on a regular basis. Where possible, some elements of the primary HSU curriculum are addressed in English lessons.
Ready, steady, go!
English is the world language. Therefore, at PGH, English is taught from day one. It is our firm belief that the earlier a child starts to learn a foreign language, the better! Experience tells us that children who learn English from a younger age find the transition to secondary school smoother. Our English curriculum is taught by a native speaker in the primary school.
In Years 1 and 2, English is taught in a playful way, with the key focus on speaking and listening.
Becoming familiar with
languages is becoming
familiar with the world.
