It’s very important for children to have the support of their parents and carers in their learning – and we can help you do that. We run workshops and sessions to share how your child is taught at school and offer tips as to how you can support them at home.
Home learning is crucial to consolidate learning in the classroom but also to prepare the children for the next stage of their education, when homework is required to be completed daily.
Our Home Learning is an extension of the weekly work that the children do in their classes.
Every week we send home Green Star Challenges to provide additional challenge for children who would like to self-select their level of challenge at home.
You can find out more about the learning your children will be doing this term in our Year Group and Curriculum Pages. To find out further information about how you can help, please speak to your child's class teacher, who will be happy to help.
We are often asked what is the easiest / best way to help my child? Two different questions but our answer is always read and help them be ready for life.
Reading is good for children because it:
- Builds language skills by exposing them to new words and ways of using language.
- Helps them learn general information about the world, making it easier for them to learn new subjects in school.
- Improves memory, concentration, and discipline.
- Develops empathy and positive self-image.
- Expands vocabulary, boosts critical thinking, and encourages imagination.
- Lays the foundation for lifelong success in cognitive, social, and emotional development.
Being ready for life is slightly different. It means in school both preparedness and attitude. Being prepared isn’t about expecting the worst; it’s about being ready for whatever life throws your way. It’s a mindset that can make daily life smoother and less stressful. While it does require a bit of extra effort and foresight, the peace of mind it brings is well worth it.
Being LIFE READY means having the grit and perseverance to tackle and achieve goals by demonstrating personal skills of self-awareness, self-management, social-awareness, responsible decision making, and relationship skills In many ways, being ready means you are equipped with skills to deal with what lies ahead and to learn from as well as contribute to what is happening.
