Magnificent Monarchs (CURRENT TOPIC)

This project teaches children about the English and British monarchy from AD 871 to the present day. Using timelines, information about royal palaces, portraits and other historical sources, they build up an understanding of the monarchs and then research six of the most significant sovereigns.

Reading

At Yew Tree Primary, 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 so that staff can see 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. If you have more than one child at Yew Tree you can add them through the one app. 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. Mrs Mclean is also available to support 

Home Learning

You can support your child with learning at home by spending time reading with your child and listening to them read. You could always visit the local library to choose some books together! Please see the external links at the bottom of this page.
