Curriculum
Our first interdisciplinary learning (IDL) topic:
‘Our Community’ will develop our mapping skills and a sense of our
place in the local community. We will also explore key local features
within Edinburgh and the city’s history.
We would appreciate any help you are able to offer with our topics.
Although we are not allowed visitors in school at the moment, any
expertise you are able to offer to enrich learning experiences would be
appreciated.

Reading
At Broughton we value reading and have created a literacy rich
environment with an engaging, progressive and challenging reading
programme for our pupils. We promote reading for enjoyment, high
quality discussions, in depth text analysis and regularly celebrate the
achievements of our pupils.
Reading for enjoyment
From P4 to P7 guided reading will be taught in class.
Children will have a choice of what they can read at home and will be
encouraged to read from a variety of genres.

Cursive Handwriting
-Improves spelling
When a child learns a word by writing it as a complete word,
muscle-memory helps the child remember how to spell the word,
as they remember how the word feels, looks and sounds.
-Improves grammar
Eventually, it is easier to see the full word and use the correct
spacing which makes it easier to know where to punctuate.
-Boosts self-esteem
Improvements in spelling and overall presentation lead to an
increase in self-esteem.

Spelling Policy
Everybody helps each other to learn:
✓ Children experience a mixture of individual and partner learning with a
variety of different partners each week.
✓ We have one class phonic sound for the week but different words to
learn depending on the individual’s spelling ability.
✓ There are no spelling groups to limit the words we ask the child to learn.

Spelling Home Learning
• Children will receive a home learning booklet of phonic words for the year.
• Each week, focus on learning the first five words from that week’s class sound.
They will use a range of strategies that they use in class.
• Please encourage finger spelling to sound out the words using the letter sounds.
• Discuss the meaning of words and the context in which you can use them with
your child.
• Common words that a child is not yet able to spell will be added to the list over the
year.
