Supporting Learning at Home
At our school, we believe that learning does not stop when the school day ends. The support children receive at home plays a vital role in helping them develop confidence, independence and a love of learning.
One of the most valuable things parents and carers can do is encourage regular reading at home. Reading with your child, listening to them read, or discussing books together helps to develop their vocabulary, comprehension and imagination, while supporting progress across the curriculum.
Children should also make use of the online learning tools and resources recommended by school. These may include programmes such as TT Rock Stars for practising times tables, as well as educational websites such as BBC Bitesize, which provide engaging activities and explanations to reinforce learning.
Homework Posters
To provide additional ideas for home learning, we send Homework Challenge Posters each term. These contain a range of suggested activities that children can complete with their families to deepen their understanding and celebrate their learning in creative ways.
Parent Curriculum Letters
For a full overview of what your child is learning, please refer to the termly parent letters and the curriculum maps available on our website. These documents outline the key knowledge, skills and topics being taught throughout the term, helping families to support learning at home.
Learning opportunities can also be found beyond the classroom. We encourage families to take advantage of the many educational experiences available across Liverpool, including visits to local libraries, museums, galleries, parks and cultural attractions. Exploring places such as Liverpool Central Library, World Museum, Walker Art Gallery, The Lady Lever Art Gallery, Sefton Park and Calderstones Park can provide rich experiences that inspire curiosity and help children make meaningful connections with their learning.
By working together, we can create a strong partnership between home and school that helps every child achieve their very best.
