Home Learning at Beauclerc & Chennestone Schools

The aim of home learning at Beauclerc and Chennestone is to further develop reading and a range of other skills with parental support and give children and parents the opportunity to share learning.

It is important to the learning process that children have the opportunity to reflect on their learning. Please talk to your child about what they have been learning rather than what they have been doing and encourage them to expand and explain. Telling someone else is a very effective way to consolidate what you have learnt.

Home learning should promote enjoyment in learning and be set at a level to match the child’s ability. It should not become a time consuming heavy workload and an area of conflict between parent and child. If there are any difficulties discuss these promptly with your child’s class teacher.

All learning experiences should promote emotional well-being.

Holiday Activities to keep children learning

It is important to keep the children using their Mathematics, Reading and Writing skills in a fun way.

Think of things to keep the learning going that means the children do not even realise they are learning.

Encourage the children to read and write for real purposes.

Cooking, games or making things are a good way to enjoy learning about Mathematics.

Join a library Surrey Libraries or visit websites such as the RSPB for great activities and competitions, for example Wild Art and Wild Diary.

We find that it really makes a difference to the children's learning when they come back to school if they have kept up their skills, those children who do get off to a flying start in their new class.

However is must be fun!
