| Ways in which you can help at home: | Please listen to your child reading at home every night (your child will have reading book and new reading record diary for you to make comments soon). Visit the local library to choose books relevant to topics being studied at school. Discuss and talk through your child’s homework helping them with strategies and methods to solve it independently. Talk to your child about the range of geographical features in their locality & globally. Help your children by listening to them read, practice their times tables through TT Rockstars and help them to problem solve. |
