At Yew Tree, we use Boom Reader to record your child’s reading journey. By downloading the app, you can record the support that your child receives at home. Staff can see what children are reading at home and you can see what reading they are completing with teachers whilst at school. 

Boom Reader is free and easy to download and takes minutes to connect to the school and your child’s reading records. All your children’s reading records are in one app and you can swap between the children’s records at the touch of button.

If you need the school code or unique pupil code to connect, please dojo your child’s class teacher. Ms Mclean is also available to support. 

Bright Lights Big City

Let’s find out all about London, including its history, transport and famous landmarks. Step back in time and discover what happened in the Great Fire of London. Where did it start? How did it end? Create a model of the bakery on Pudding Lane, then burn it to the ground to recreate the Great Fire. Stand well back and watch how the flames spread. London’s burning! London’s burning! Fire, fire! Fire, fire! Hang on, there’s someone new in town. Plan a tour for Marley the Meerkat (he’s come all the way from Zambia, you know) making sure he takes in all the sights and sounds of London before he finally meets his family at London Zoo. Are you ready for the bright lights of the big city? Hop in a black cab and enjoy the ride.

You can support your child with learning at home by spending time reading together and listening to them read daily. You could always visit the local library to choose some books together!

You can also help your child to learn to read and spell the Year 1 common exception words.

We would encourage you to follow your children's interests and we would welcome any home projects if they want to learn and find out more about any of our in school topics.
