On Monday 06 October, Mr Owen, Mr Wilks and Miss Rushbrooke led the first of three learning drop-in sessions to support your child; this one was in English. Here are some of the comments.
- I like the handouts and the way the content of them was explained.
- Teachers are very approachable and explain everything in our language. It’s a great opportunity to get a feel for what’s going on in the class.
- Really pleased I came – learned lots.
- The practical suggestions of how to include writing in daily life and good ideas for encouraging reading were useful.
- Very useful session to find out some additional ways to help at home. The small group format worked well and it was helpful having the split by year group. The information to take home was very useful too.
- It was very organised with lots of practical ideas. It was a great idea to split the workshop into year groups.
- Very informal, good opportunity to ask questions and to talk to teachers and other parents about what works at home.
- Good advice and tips about how to encourage reading through asking plenty of questions. I liked the different methods of practising writing including using iPads.
- I feel more confident when discussing work with my children.
There is a similar drop-in workshop on on Monday 20 October at 2.30pm for Maths.
For Reception and Year 1 parents, Mrs Weekes and Mrs Burke lead a learning workshop where you get ideas about how to support the early stages of reading, writing and maths. This is on Monday 13 October at 2.30pm.
