Primary Schoolers Learning At Home

Primary Schoolers Learning At Home

• Some of the best ways to help children learn, enjoy and do well at school and get a good start in life is by:
  • reading (or seeing you reading) recipes, the labels on cans and packets, TV guides, newspapers, magazines, signs in shops and streets
  • measuring things out to make a cake or to fix something which is broken
  • paying for things in the shop, working out how much one thing costs if there are six in the packet, and which things are the best value
  • talking about what things are bigger, lighter or shorter; what things 'go together' and why; what things are made of and how you can tell; and why things happen
  • playing and learning how to control their bodies as they run, jump, climb, skip, throw a ball, draw, paint and play in the sand
  • being with others, working with others, being part of a team
  • being creative and imaginative as they pretend
  • learning to control their feelings, waiting, being aware of others, listening and following instructions
  • learning from you as you work with and beside them.
• Knowing what is happening in your child's school will also help.
