Reading in Food Technology

Reading in the Creative Faculty

Food

The ‘Creative Faculty’ actively engages in developing Disciplinary Literacy to support whole school reading and discussion here at Gateacre School. Each department within our area has curated a selection of texts around a topic central to developing, embedding and enhancing knowledge within their curriculum area. These are varied and could be project specific, link to current affairs and/or relate to each subject in society, including key issues that are relevant to the modern world. The reading tasks will happen once per half term, following the whole school policy.
