At Bonneygrove and Millbrook Primary Federation, our Curriculum Newsletters provide a clear and helpful overview of what your child will be learning each half term.

Each newsletter is carefully designed to keep parents and carers informed about the curriculum and to support you in working alongside the school to enhance your child’s learning experience.

What the Newsletter Includes

Each half-termly newsletter outlines key learning across the curriculum, including:

• Mathematics
• English
• Foundation Subjects, such as:
  • History
  • Geography
  • Design and Technology
  • Art and Design

You will also find:

• Key knowledge and skills your child will be developing
• Important vocabulary linked to each subject
• An overview of the topics being taught

How Parents and Carers Can Use the Newsletter

The Curriculum Newsletter is a valuable tool to help you support your child at home. You can use it to:

• Support learning in Mathematics
  Help your child practise new methods, discuss problem-solving strategies, and build confidence with key concepts.
• Reinforce English skills
  Encourage regular reading, support writing tasks, and talk about grammar and vocabulary being learned in school.
• Talk about learning in other subjects
  Ask your child about topics in History, Geography, Science, and the arts to deepen their understanding and interest.
• Use key vocabulary at home
  Practising subject-specific words helps children remember and apply their learning more effectively.
• Prepare for upcoming topics
  Reading the newsletter together can give your child a head start and build excitement about what they will be learning next.
• Extend learning beyond the classroom
  You might visit local places, watch relevant programmes, or explore books linked to current topics.

Working in Partnership

We strongly encourage all families to read the Curriculum Newsletter each half-term. By doing so, you can play an active role in your child’s education and help reinforce their learning at home.

Working together, we can ensure every child builds confidence, develops key skills, and achieves their full potential.
