Homelearning

media type="file" key="to.wmv" We do home learning each week. This consists of some reading, spelling and an activity of choice from our home learning grid. This is shown as a PDF file below. A new home learning grid is available for each term. The activities on it are a range of things, including helping at home, physical challenges, research, interviews, and some inquiry skills. These are designed to be fun and a great way for families to become involved in day to day learning. Although we would like students to take some care and pride in presenting this, the main emphasis is on participation and self management of tasks.

What if my child doesnt want to do home learning? - Please spend some time and encourage them. Children are usually keen to please and become involved in activites parents value. Work along side your child but do not fall into the trap of doing their homelearning Spelling - Please take the time to encourage you child to practise and learn their words each evening. Reading - I cant emphasize enough the value of practising regular home reading. Ask your child to tell you bits of what they have read and ask them questions or just chat about the text. - Feel free to come and chat with me if you have any concerns about homelearning. Good Luck!
