Home Learning
Parents often ask us how we can support their child's learning at home. We do this is many ways, from a quick chat at drop-off or pick-up times, to more formal termly parent meetings, and information that we share.
Fortnightly Challenge
Look out on Tapestry for your fortnightly challenge. You will find suggestions of how you can support your child's learning at home.
Book of the month.
Each month, we introduce a new title that parents may wish to read at home. Throughout that month, we will be reading this story to the children.
Song sheets
Each term, we learn songs that are relevant to that terms curriculum. We produce a song sheet for each class. Parents are welcome to download these or ask for a paper copy.
