If your child is not at school in the near future, we all want to ensure that learning continues where possible. The school will therefore provide some paper based materials but to help beyond this, we have put together some advice and useful websites. If your child is working below age related expectations or has specific SEN needs that means they access the curriculum at a different level, please use information and links from earlier year groups.
In addition, we will be setting up this page on the school website, which will provide these links and possibly more, during the time the school may be closed.
Helping your child learn at home
Use the school day routine as a starting point to help work out what is best for your child in helping them learn:
- Split the day into small chunks, like school does and separate the subjects.
- When is your child used to having their Snack and break? Work this into their learning routine.
- Do they work best in the morning or afternoon? Choose the right time to tackle the subject they find harder
- Don’t underestimate the joy of reading and story writing. Dive into a good book or series and encourage children to write their own stories.
- Use the ‘Pobble’ Non-Screen activities (see below and pack) along with the school homework school menus to support children in their wellbeing and creativity.
