Learning Workshops, led by teachers in school, are organised to help you support your child at home.
Two different Learning Workshops took place yesterday. One was intended for Reception and Year 1 parents and it focused on phonics and simple number facts:
- “Well explained in terms of the current methods in phonics and Maths teaching. Teachers were open to questions. Thanks – much appreciated.”
- “Good overview of early learning concepts and teaching methods. A useful workshop – thank you.”
- From a parent with older children at school: “Always nice to have a refresher workshop as many things – about phonics especially – come back to me which I’d forgotten.”
The second workshop, at 6.00pm, was all about grammar and writing:
- “Great to go through all the grammar – it’s years since I was at school so a brilliant overview!”
- “Very helpful ideas to assist my reluctant writer at home.”
- “Thanks for the grammar web links.”
- “Very clear and practical presentation of the subject. Helpful tips. Mr Owen made it simple and funny.”
Thank you to the parents who attended.
