Our Vision for Instruction in English continues!

Welcome back to the final term of the year - can you believe it!

Our students have come back refreshed, ready to learn and eager to resume where they left off last term. 

The explicit instruction methods are certainly proving to be the most effective way in helping the students gain the knowledge and skills they need to flourish and become lifelong learners as evidenced in the seamless way they engaged with the learning this week.

Parents play a crucial role in supporting their children’s learning journey. 

Here are some ways you can enhance their learning:

• Communicate with teachers: Maintain regular contact with your child’s teachers to understand classroom objectives and methods.
• Encourage and celebrate practice: Provide opportunities for your child to practise new skills, and celebrate their effort and progress.
• Create a structured environment: Establish a distraction-free study area at home.
• Promote reading together: Spend time reading with your child regularly. Discuss stories, characters and themes to enhance comprehension.
• Encourage critical thinking: Engage in discussions that promote reasoning and explanation.
• Model a positive attitude towards learning: Demonstrate a positive attitude towards learning and curiosity. Show your child that learning is a lifelong journey, and encourage them to explore new ideas and interests.
