Tips for Good Home Learning Habits:

• Find a quiet place at home. It needs to have plenty of space, good light, a flat surface and the right equipment (e.g. pens, pencils, ruler).
• Be aware of modern strategies for teaching methods (e.g. long division). Don't teach them the methods you used at school - it could confuse them. Refer to our Maths website page or ask your child's teacher if you are unsure.
• Agree a home learning plan with your child which states when your child will do their home learning and stick to it.
• Make sure your child has had something nutritional to eat before starting any home learning tasks.
• Talk about any home learning tasks with your child and try help them to see how it supports what they are studying at school.
• Make sure the TV is turned off so they aren't distracted. They might want music on if it helps them.
• Don't give your child the answer just so they can finish. Help them to research the answer (e.g. looking up information or using a dictionary).
• Don't make home learning a chore. Use games and a variety of ways to keep it a fun and special time that you both look forward to.
