Support your child’s learning – a series of workshops

Wednesday 08 September 2021

Starting next week, we’ve a series of Zoom sessions to help you support your child’s learning at home.

Altogether, there are nine short Zoom sessions led by Sphere Federation leaders on a range of subject areas. Each session lasts for just 30 minutes and will provide a few top tips and guidance as to how to support your child at home. The invitation is open to all parents and carers across Sphere Federation, although we’ve indicated below if the session might be more appropriate for particular age ranges.

The sessions, all starting at 6pm, are as follows:

  2. Monday 20 September: Reading (mainly for Key Stage 2)
  3. Monday 04 October: Number fact fluency (mainly for Key Stage 1)

All the sessions start at 6pm. They last around 20-25 minutes, plus there will be a questions and answer session at the end of around 5-10 minutes.
