To assist children with their homework we have a number of ICT based programs that can be accessed at home. All the children have a personal login for the school’s Fronter website. Once they have logged in they with find resources to help them with their homework. The children can also use ‘My Maths’. The login for this program is broadford and the password is broadford. Each child has been given a personal login so they can access tasks that the class teacher has set for them. Finally, we have a Literacy based program called ‘Purple Mash’ that provides the children with frames to help them structure their writing.
Spellings:
Spellings will be given out on Mondays. The children should practice their words every evening. The test will take place on Fridays.
Trips
This term the children have a trip planned to help support the learning covered in school, details of which will follow shortly. If you have a current CRB and you would like to help could you please let us know, thank you.
Parental help:
It is always extremely valuable to have parents who are able to volunteer time to help hear the children read, or support them with their times tables. If you think that you are able to give some time to support the children then it would be warmly welcomed. Once again you will need a current CRB in order to work inside the school.
Curriculum Information
Below is a summary of the topics which the children will be covering this term. If you would like any more information about what the subjects actually involve then please do not hesitate to ask your child’s teacher.

The school is
really focusing on mental maths and learning the times tables. Children
should know the 2, 5 and 10 times tables by the end of year 2. It would be of
great help if you could help your children to learn the following.
Year1 Practice counting
up to 20 in twos (2, 4, 6, etc.) Also practice ordering numbers to 30 and
saying which is one more and one less.
Year 2 Practice the
2, 5 and 10 times tables. Also practice ordering numbers to 100 and knowing
how many tens and units are in a 2-digit number. Also what is one more or
less and ten more or less.
