Home Learning
At Campie we believe in children having time to engage in other out of school experiences and to relax, reflect and rest after a busy day in their learning environments. Our Home Learning approach encourages discussion at home to reflect on learning, reading for enjoyment and some practise tasks.
(Our Highlights sheet will assist you in starting conversations about learning.)
Below are some websites that can be used to support home learning and exploration.
