HOME LEARNING

We recognise that learning happens all of the time for children, not just at school!

These suggestions are outlined to help you, help your child continue to grow and become an independent and confident learner. However we do understand that all achievements are worth recognition. It may be that your child learns to do something new or overcomes something particularly challenging. No matter how big or small these triumphs are all important moments in your child’s life and maybe yours too!

These occasions are always worth recognition so do share them on Evidence Me or feel free to pick up a Magic Moment slip from school so we can celebrate them in school too!

Be an Explorer

One of our school values is Exploration! With this in mind we specifically call play time "Exploration Time" to encourage children to get involved and to see what is new or familiar in their new environment. At home there might be times when your child tries something new too. This might be a new activity, going to a new place or just trying a new food!

Its always wonderful to hear about these times so please share them with us so we can celebrate them in school too.

Share a Book

Each day take time to share a book. This could be one that your child has brought home from school, one from the Book Bingo selection from school or one that you already have at home. Talk about the story or information you have learnt using illustrations and discuss new vocabulary learnt. This will be a great way of developing language, construct a better understanding of the world and develop a love of books!

Share your child's responses in their Reading Record, remembering to sign it so they receive dojos on their book changing day. Keep school books and reading records in your child's school bag bringing them to school each day.

Evidence Me Challenges

We will send challenges throughout the term via the Evidence me App for you to complete at home with your child. These are designed to compliment the learning your child will do in school and give them a chance to consolidate their understanding of new skills.

They are also intended to be fun so we hope you enjoy doing them.
