Home learning
Home learning
To support your child's learning at home you should:
- Share stories every day, ask questions about the pictures
- Involve your child with day to day tasks such as cooking and tidying up
- Draw pictures together, practise name writing
- Encourage independence with self-help tasks such as toileting, dressing and feeding
- Encourage positive behaviour, have clear boundaries
- Limit screen time
Check 'Evidence Me' regularly so that you can see what your child has been learning about at Nursery. Don't forget to send us some photos of their learning at home too!
