How can I help my child to learn?  

Preschool

 You can support your child's reading by engaging with the resources in their book bag. Reading their school reading book with your child every day, recapping phonics sounds and reading story books. Your child has a bedtime book in their book bag too which they can change when you have read it. Please record in your childs reading journal so they can climb up the beanstalk!

Below are useful phonics websites;

We often use TopMarks for interactive games, take a look at the maths activities.

More than anything, simply talk to your child.Talk about weather, daytime, nightime, road signs and street names. Talk about family - who is related to them. Talk about where they live - local places, buildings and landmarks, places you like to go together. Talk about likes and dislikes and why they have such likes or dislikes. Talk about things they see in the garden, pets, plants and natural things. 

  Talking children

 

What should my child bring to school?

- A named water bottle (please just fill with water).

- A named lunchbox (if required).

- Blue book bag, blue reading diary and reading books.

- Named waterproof coat, and gloves/hat for colder weather.

- A named sunhat (weather dependent) and sun cream if required (please try to ensure that this is applied before school).

 

Snack (milk and fruit) is provided during the day and the children will have access to their water bottles at all times.
