Dear Parents and Carers,
Year 1/2 - Curriculum Newsletter - Spring
Welcome back! We hope you find this letter informative. Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s class teacher if you have any questions relating to the curriculum.
Homework:
Our expectation at Broadford is that every child should do the following every night:
- 15 minutes reading to themselves or an adult and note in the reading record
- 15 minutes practicing spellings
- 15 minutes rehearsing times tables facts (including multiplication and division)
- If children would like to attempt an additional challenge, we have a new Learning Challenge for children to attempt this Spring Term which will be given out shortly. All of the activities are based around a significant person, poem or painting relating to our topics. Children do not have to attempt every activity but instead select the activities that they are most interested in and compile a project that reflects the extra time and effort that they have put into their challenge.

- Year 2 will have a Sculpture workshop this term and will have a visit from the fire brigade.

Please practice the times tables with your children. We complete Rock Stars Maths daily. Children may take home the sheet they are on to practice. It needs to be completed in 5 minutes. The school is really focusing on Mental Maths this term and it would be of great help if your children could learn them.
