How to help at home

Reading for pleasure helps children broaden their vocabulary, develop their imagination, increase their general knowledge and is an important factor in future academic success. You can help instill a love of books by reading regularly with your child.

• Make reading part of your family life. Have books around you so that your child is ready to read whenever there’s a chance.

• Follow your child’s reading interests. It doesn’t matter whether it’s fiction, poetry, comics, non-fiction or magazines. It’s all worthwhile.

• Encourage your child’s reading choices – maybe a familiar book for re-reading as well as something new. If you are stuck for something to catch your child’s imagination ask their teacher or see our list of recommended reading.

• Get comfortable! Find somewhere cosy and comfy to read with your child.

• Ask questions to keep your child interested in the story. You might like to ask questions such as, ‘What has happened so far?’ ‘Is it what you expected to happen?’ ‘What might happen next?’ ‘How do you think the story might end?’ ‘What sort of character is….? Is he/she friendly/ mean/ nice…?’

• Read whenever you get the chance. Bring along a book or magazine for any time your child has to wait, such as at a doctor’s surgery.

• Read again and again. Encourage your child to re-read their favourite books and poems. Re-reading helps to build up fluency and confidence.

• Books and poems which include rhyme and repetition are great for encouraging your child or children to join in and remember the words.

Useful websites www.booktrust.org.uk has lots of recommendations of high quality books for children of all ages. Try the ‘bookfinder’ tool for inspiration on what to read

MUSIC At the Upper Key Stage 2 level, the music curriculum aims to develop a love of music, coupled with a solid understanding of the musical elements and music history, alongside vocal and instrumental performance skills. Half-termly projects, completed at home, enable students to develop their experience of music beyond the timetabled classroom lessons. The curriculum is designed to accomodate students of all skill levels, including those who have accessed instrumental or vocal tuition. All students are challenged to develop their skills in listening, singing, composing, and playing music, in order to become well-rounded musicians. Music in Year 5 and 6 is delivered in weekly lessons of 60 minutes for Year 5, and twice weekly lessons of 30 minutes each for Year 6. All lessons are taught by a specialist music teacher and draw on a variety of music education methodologies. The most prominent of these is Zoltan Kodaly's approach to developing music literacy through singing, although elements of Emile Jacques-Dalcroze and Carl Orff's approaches to eurhythmics and classroom percussion are used as appropriate. Thus, every lesson includes singing or playing, listening with understanding, and composing or improvising. Lessons are structured so that the principles of regular, effective, practise are shown and taught. In addition to the timetabled music curriculum, there are a variety of performance, ensemble, and development opportunities available to all students. All students are encouraged to perform in weekly assemblies and special events. Ensemble opportunities are a feature of the Co-curricular Music program, including Bryant and Co-Curricular Activities. This includes orchestras, choir, small ensemble, and the Saturday Conservatory program. Individual tuition is available through the Peripatetic Program delivered by our team of highly skilled and experienced vocal and instrumental teachers, several of whom have studied and performed around the world. Students also have the opportunity to enter ABRSM theory and practical exams, as well as take part in FOBISIA and GEC festivals.
