We know that you will be keen to learn with your child at home and support them on the next steps of their learning journey into school. There are many ways you can do this at home:
Can your child recognise their own name? Make labels and use them round the house for anything and everything. A name sign for their bedroom door, a label on their snack tub, shoes, water bottles etc.
Can your child write their own name? Please do not worry if they can't. Have fun providing your child with lots of opportunities to do this at home, using a variety of mediums, such as; pens, pencils, chalks.
Encourage independence whenever you can. Can your child take off and put on their own jacket? Can they manage a zip? Practice getting changed into shorts and t-shirt, and packing a bag for gym.
Can your child put their shoes on the correct feet? Cut a sticker in half and stick inside shoes - can they match the picture?
Ask your child to open their own snacks, and find a bin for the rubbish to go in when they are finished.
Encourage your child to use the toilet independently, and wash and dry hands. Sing a simple song to make sure that handwashing takes at least 20 seconds.
