Many parents/carers ask how they can help their children. You can do so in the following ways:
- Read through the Knowledge Organisers together with your child: maybe do 1 Knowledge Organiser per night. Repeat the reading process until your child knows the facts/ information contained in all of the Knowledge Organisers and can retrieve it when you test them.
- Ensure that your child knows and understands the vocabulary on the Knowledge Organisers. If you speak another language at home please discuss the words in your own language to aid understanding.
- Research some of the topics within the Knowledge Organisers together, there may be trips or visits you can do together, be sure to tell us all about it!
