Ideas to support your child's learning at home

Time and love are precious things you can give your child - no child will remember how tidy and clean their home was, but they will remember times you spent together playing.
There are so many things you can do with your child at home to help the learning.
  • Turn off the television, laptop and put your phone away: be present.
  • Try joining your child in their play, build together, laugh together, sing together.
  • Share stories and make some of your own up too!
  • Get your child to help you with preparing for meal times, counting cutlery or cups.
  • Write shopping lists together and go to the shop.
  • Go for a walk and look for treasure (feathers, stones, puddles, grass, cats... anything that you love!)
  • Play in the park together.
  • Play hide and seek.
  • Build a den with a sheet over a chair.
Please see any member of staff at school if you need any help or ideas with home learning.  
The National Literacy Trust has some great ideas and information if you need help.
