Supporting learning at home

Each term we send home a Future Learning Focus booklet to communicate the upcoming learning topics. Finding ways to reinforce or practise these concepts at home can help to deepen their learning. 

Having conversation at home about the things your child does at school is a great way to support their learning at home. 

Activities such as encouraging children to write cards to family members on birthdays, cooking together, making opportunities to count and discuss collections of things, and of course enjoying books together are all great ways to support the learning we do at school.
