Monday and Thursday

There is an expectation that children complete their spellings and read at home. Other homework may be sent home to support learning.

Please read as often as possible (aim for a minimum of four short 5-10 minute sessions per week) and try to read for enjoyment. It is very important to discuss the meaning of the vocabulary involved because it is surprising what a child presumes a word means. Please ask your child to explain why characters are acting in certain ways, what their emotions are at key points and encourage them to make predictions about the plot.

Spellings are a combination of age-expected spellings or very important vocabulary for the current topic or science. Spellings are tested weekly on Thursday morning and new words provided on Friday.

What topics will my child be enjoying?

Vikings and Anglo Saxon Britain

Space

Your child will learn all about the solar system and the celestial objects within it.  We will observe the cycles of the moon and understand the importance of our sun.  During Literacy, we will use our book ‘The Darkest Dark’ to help develop detailed biographies and the class will be conducting various, exciting experiments to understand the forces around us.

Please telephone school to arrange an appointment for either a visit or phonecall.

Alternatively email the teacher – please note that emails will not be responded to after 6pm.

If you have a concern we encourage your first contact should be with the class teacher. However, should you have further concerns please contact Mr Bolton head@broadway.lancs.sch.uk
