Home Learning

This page is dedicated to supporting learning at home. We set this up in March 2020, and have kept this page since then so that children at home for any reason, whether at our school or beyond have access to learning.

Our aims for home learning at Parklands Community Primary & Nursery School:

1. Accessible: We send out all different kinds of work which can be accessed in all different ways. We often need to do this remotely but much of our work can be done off-screen. We will work with families to find the best way to help children learn at home.
2. Independent: Most of the work online supports revision and over-learning of work children have covered in class. Teachers send out ideas to motivate the children such as creating battles on TT Rock Stars or fun ways to share learning.
3. Prioritising: Our focus is on the 3 Rs – Reading, Writing & Arithmetic. Reading every day is the most important aspect of home learning.
4. Whole Child: We send out lots of different ways to help your children understand the world they live in. We also send ideas for across the subjects as well as for well-being.

Parents, don’t get stressed about home learning. Contact school if you need a hand or someone to talk to.
