The Home Board is used daily to communicate learning which has happened that day to parents and carers. During the last session of each day, the teacher will re-visit the day’s learning with the class using the visual timetable as a prompt. The children will then explain what they have learned, and the teacher will act as their scribe to write this on a free-standing white board. This is then placed next to the gate, within eyesight of parents and carers. The Home Board has been proved successful in embedding learning, as it encourages children to talk about what they have learned with their families and helps their adults to start valuable discussion.
Children accessing Read Write Inc. Phonics lessons take home a book that is matched to their phonics ability. Parents are asked to support their child to read this book independently using the blending and decoding skills that they have been practising at school.
Our aim at Manor Farm Academy is for every child to enjoy books; we therefore give children a Reading for Pleasure book to instill in them a passion for reading. Children will take home a Reading for Pleasure book from our classroom libraries which they will have chosen for themselves, independently.
All books will be changed regularly and monitored by staff. Parents /Carers are asked to comment in the children’s Reading Record when they hear their child read. Although we understand how busy life can be, we do ask that all children aim to read aloud to an adult for at least five minutes per day. Research has continually shown us the positive impact that reading can have on all areas of your child’s learning.
