Home Learning
On our curriculum newsletters which are sent home each half term, you will find information on what your child will be learning in school and also a list of home learning for your child to do at home to help them with their learning. If you complete any of these activities, please upload a photo and comment about what your child has done on Tapestry so that we are able to see it. We love to see home learning on Tapestry, so please feel free to upload any learning done at home, even if it isn’t a set task from their teacher
It is very important for children to be exposed to high quality stories to develop their language and reading skills. In each class we have ‘Dream Reads’ which are high quality story books which you can borrow to take home and read to your child (Please see the tabs reading in EYFS for more information). In F2, children also begin to bring home RWI phonics books which they can read themselves to practice applying the phonics skills taught in school when appropriate. Please support your child to read these books at home as often as possible. Please record any reading at home in their reading record.
There are also several websites that we recommend for you to access to support your child’s learning at home:
- Phonics Play – On Phonics Play your child can play phonics games.
- Cosmic Kids Yoga – Fun yoga sessions for children linked to stories
- Numberblocks – Children can watch episodes of numberblocks and play numberblocks games on the website.
- Teach your monster to read app – A great app to support your child to learn phonics
- Topmarks – Children can access fun educational games
