Family Learning

The aim of family learning sessions is to develop confidence and for home and school to work together to support children's learning. Further information will be shared via Parent Mail when your child's year group session is available to book. 

Family Learning - Seesaw 

A family learning session during the spring term focused on using Seesaw for home learning. If you would like more information and guidance about using Seesaw, we hope that the presentation below will be helpful. You can also find out more by going to:

Family Learning - Science 

Our family learning programme during the autumn and spring term focused on science. Parents were invited to take part in a short session focusing on the curriculum with our science lead teachers, and then children joined us to complete some exciting activities together! 

Family Learning - Maths 

We are enjoying working together! This year, families are joining us to find out more about the teaching of number concepts. They have worked with the maths leader and then completed challenges with their children. 

Family Learning: Reading

With a focus on developing confidence and fluency in reading, parents and carers had the opportunity to join their child for a series of shared sessions. 

Using the principles of Talk for Reading, parents and children read, discuss and investigate a specific story, and focus on a new strategy or technique each week. We learn how to:

  • make predictions
  • retrieve information
  • make inferences
  • develop our imaginations.

We also learn a range of new vocabulary.
