How else can I support my child at home?

• Ensure that all items are clearly labelled. Show your child where to find their name in their clothing. This will help to build their independence when looking after their belongings and taking responsibility at home time.
• Support your child to practise logging into their Purple Mash accounts. We use Purple Mash for our Computing lessons and it would really help the children if they became confident at logging in independently. 
• Provide opportunities to develop your child's fine-motor skills - show your child how to hold scissors and pencils correctly.
• Practise correct letter formation and number formation (and orientation). You can find these below. You can support your child by encouraging them to sit their writing on the line when writing. 
• Read together EVERY DAY!

Please do not let small issues become big issues - if you need a chat, please catch the class staff at the door. Alternatively, send a message via Class Dojo. If you require a longer conversation, please contact the school office to arrange a time to meet.
