10. How can you help you child?
One of the best ways to help your child with their learning is to read with your child every night. Remember to ask your child about the books they read so that it is clear they have understood the text and can tell you about it confidently.
Times tables are going to be tested at the end of year 4 , so it would be useful to practise these with your child too.
By the end of year 2 children must know their 2, 5 and 10 times tables
Sitting with your children each week to complete their homework is also a great way to help your child.
Attending our ‘Sharing Our Success’ afternoons will help to keep you up to date with what your child is learning
Attending parent evenings is a great way to get a personalised and more detailed update of your child’s learning.
