Key Information for Parents

To keep up to date, it is vital that parents regularly read our weekly newsletter, which is emailed directly to you on a Friday.  This is packed with important information and key dates for your diary.

Reading at Home

Reading is very important, and it opens up a world of learning to our children. At Barrow, our long-term aim is for all children to develop a passion and love of reading, as well as becoming confident readers across the curriculum. 

Every child at Barrow will be given a school banded reading book by their class teacher; in year 1 this will  be a physical book.  We ask that all children read to an adult THREE times per week and this should be signed and recorded in your child's reading diary.  This will be checked weekly by your child's class teacher.  Children in year 1 will also receive a phonics book linked to the previous week's learning. This will be a physical book most of the time, but may sometimes be an online book which can be accessed on Bug Club. In addition, all children will choose their own library book. They can keep the book for ONE week and must return it to school on their allocated library day.  If your child does not return their library book, they will not be able to take another book out.

Homework Menus

Homework menus will be posted in the first week of each half-term on our class page. They will include lots of different activities to do to help extend our learning at home. 

Bug Club 

All children have access to Bug Club.  Your child's class teacher will provide them with a Username, Password and School Code.  To access Bug Club you can click on the attached link

Spelling Shed

To support the children with their reading, we have set the Year 1 class up with a Spelling Shed login. They can access games linked to the week's learning in phonics. This will help their reading and spelling. It is recommended that they access this weekly.  You can find your child's login details in the front of their reading diary.
