Learning From Home

Today (7 May) marks the end of Week 3 of Learning from Home and parents and carers are doing a wonderful job creating a positive environment and experience for their children. The partnership between school and home to support each child’s learning has probably never been more important. With support and encouragement from home and regular communication from teachers, children have continued their learning by engaging in a variety of rich, well-designed, purposeful experiences. It’s been a unique time for parents to engage more fully with their child’s learning and become even more aware of their wellbeing. Here are some more tips to help continue the great work Learning from Home:

• Begin and end each day with an active check-in to help students reflect on their learning progress. Encourage students to talk about their learning, what their learning goals are and how they think they are going.
• Believe in your child’s potential and encourage them to work in interdependent ways.
• Stick to established routines and expectations. Use the timetable provided by your school to set regular hours for schoolwork and keep normal bedtime routines for younger children as sleep is so important.
