Our whole-school homework this week is:
Living and Learning:
I seek help if I’m unhappy with a relationship… is our Living and Learning statement this week. Talk to your child about seeking help – this will echo a conversation from a few weeks ago when the Living and Learning statement was ‘I know how to seek help’. Try to encourage self-help first, but make sure your child knows when to ask a trusted adult or organisation for bigger problems. What small problems can your child sort out on their own? It may be a disagreement with a friend, for example. When might your child need more help? For example, if they feel they’re being bullied or forced to do something they don’t like. Encourage the examples to be ones in other situations: school, home, clubs…
Reading: please make sure your child is reading on a daily basis.
Number Fact Fluency: use Numbots or Times Table Rock Stars in regular short bursts.
Talk Time:
This week’s talk time has an L&L theme:
I know how to stay safe in different situations (for example, having a fire plan at home).
This week, talk with an adult at home about how to stay safe in different situations. Think carefully about what you would need to do to keep yourself safe.
For example, you might talk about what you would do if there was a fire. You could discuss how you would get out of your home safely, where your safe meeting place would be outside, what you should do first in an emergency, and who could help you.
