Learning isn’t just about what happens in school! What can you do? The importance of parents, carers, teachers and children working together is invaluable, especially at this crucial time! Read with your child regularly. Encourage children to complete home learning and always learn basic skills. Get your child to school on time and regularly. Remind children about learning behaviours. Learning isn’t just about what happens in school!
