Dear Parents and Carers,
Year One - Autumn 2 Curriculum Newsletter
Welcome back, we hope you have had a wonderful half term break! We are so excited to have the children back ready to start the new half term. This term Beech class will be taking part in Forest School on Tuesday. Walnut and Apricot Class will be taking part in PE. Please ensure that children have long-sleeved tops or jumpers and jogging bottoms or leggings for both Forest School and PE.
We hope you find this curriculum letter informative. Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s class teacher by email if you have any questions regarding Year One. (year1@broadford.havering.sch.uk)
Homework:
Our expectation at Broadford is that every child should do the following every night:
· 15 minutes reading to an adult and note in the reading record
· 15 minutes practising spellings
· rehearsing times tables facts (2x, 5x and 10x tables)
Spellings:
The children will receive spellings each Monday in a red exercise book. These words will usually be either ‘red words’ (words that cannot be sounded out) or ‘high frequency words’ (words that they will use in the writing frequently).
Please ensure that your child brings their red spelling book to school every Friday. They will complete their test in the book as this allows you to see their results. We will then send new spellings home in the book each Monday.
