Dear Parents and Carers,
Year 1/2 - Curriculum Newsletter
Welcome back to the New Term, we hope you’ve had a lovely Easter break. We have an exciting term ahead of us and can’t wait to get stuck into our new Topics! Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s class teacher if you have any questions relating to the curriculum.
Homework:
As always, our expectation at Broadford is that every child does 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 Summer term, which is attached.
Spellings:
Spellings will be given out on Mondays. The children should practise their words every evening. Please support your children in reading the spellings aloud and defining the words to give them a secure understanding of them. The test will take place on Fridays and you will see your child’s score on the following Monday.
Trips
Year 2 will be going to the Tower of London on the 7th of July and will also be visiting Raphael Park (dates to follow).
