Supporting your child with reading
Although your child will be taught to read at school, you can have a huge impact on their reading journey by continuing their practice at home.

There are two types of reading book that your child may bring home:

A reading practice book. This will be at the correct phonic stage for your child. They should be able to read this fluently and independently.

A sharing book. Your child will not be able to read this on their own. This book is for you both to read and enjoy together.
Reading practice book
This book has been carefully matched to your child's current reading level. If your child is reading it with little help, please don't worry that it's too easy - your child needs to develop fluency and confidence in reading.

Listen to them read the book. Remember to give them lots of praise - celebrate their success! If they can't read a word, read it to them. After they have finished, talk about the book together.
Sharing book
In order to encourage your child to become a lifelong reader, it is important that they learn to read for pleasure. The sharing book is a book they have chosen for you to enjoy together.

Please remember that you shouldn't expect your child to read this alone. Read it to or with them. Discuss the pictures, enjoy the story, predict what might happen next, use different voices for the characters, explore the facts in a non-fiction book. The main thing is that you have fun!

Welcome to White Rose Maths - we're glad you're here!

In case you're visiting us for the first time, let's introduce ourselves... White Rose Maths is a company founded within a high-performing, Halifax-based school Trust. Our work with teachers, practitioners, pupils, parents and carers is all aimed at one thing: helping every child and young person to understand, enjoy and succeed in maths. We do this by developing understanding. By truly understanding each maths concept and by mastering learning one step at a time, EVERYONE CAN DO MATHS: EVERYONE CAN!

The White Rose Maths 'schemes of learning' are hugely popular with schools in the UK and in many other countries, too. We also produce many other resources to help increase both fun and success in maths. Rooted in globally respected research, our resources are written by experienced, practising teachers and are available for pupils from nursery and primary years and through secondary school to GCSE.

The White Rose Maths schemes of learning

A scheme of learning is a clear, time-linked plan for learning. Our schemes are written for year groups and cover the whole school year of learning.

It's quite likely that your child's school already follows the White Rose Maths schemes. To find out, just check your child's school website or ask their teacher. Even if the school is not currently using our schemes, don't worry, as you can still use our videos and materials to help your child to learn and enjoy maths at home. You can view and download our schemes of learning and learning videos completely free of charge on the Home Learning section of our website.

Finding your way around the schemes

For each year group, the scheme of learning includes an overview of the maths that your child should be learning at any point in the year. Each year is split into the three terms (Autumn, Spring and Summer), and each term comprises individual blocks of learning about a particular topic. So the Year 4 overview looks like this (see right) and Autumn Block 2, for example, is focused on the topic of addition and subtraction. You'll notice that in Key Stage1, Key Stage 2 and early secondary, we spend lots of time on building strong number skills. These important core skills lay a solid foundations for more complicated learning later on.

Sometimes schools might be a little behind or ahead of the scheme schedule. This is absolutely fine: in fact, we deliberately build flexibility into our schemes to allow for these variations.
You can find your child's Year overview here :

2 The small steps

We've divided each block of knowledge into a series of small learning steps. Together, these small steps cover all the curriculum content that your child needs to know.

Brain science tells us that by learning maths in small, related chunks, your child will remember more. We also used the best available research to map out the crucial learning steps that will help your child to understand clearly what they are learning.

Online Learning

The amazing teachers at White Rose Maths have produced home learning videos for every single small step. So if your child needs to work at home or catch up, these videos are fun, effective and super-easy to use!For each learning block we produce a set of questions for your child to solve. You can download and print these questions via our subscription, or buy them in workbook format from our online store.

Each workbook covers one block of learning, so the size of workbook depends on the length of the block.
Please note that both the subscription and the workbooks are available at a very low cost.

Helping your child with maths (It's far more fun than you think!)

Many people think they 'can't do maths', but with exciting new teaching approaches, we're proving day by day that every child really can love and succeed in maths! What's more, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to support your child's learning, so here are some helpful tips from our fantastic team.

Try not to hurry through the curriculum. Remember that understanding each small step is the path to your child's success: rushing ahead simply doesn't work!

If your child is struggling with particular topics, try looking instead at work on the same topics from earlier in the year or a previous year. This will help to plug any learning gaps and make sure your child understands the topic more clearly.

Use our free parent workbooks to identify where your child might be struggling. There is a workbook for every block at primary level - and the secondary workbooks will be on their way very soon!

Is your child finding maths easy? Why not have a go at some of our problem solving activities or bar modelling problems? These are great exercises for stretching young minds and building new skills and insights!

The White Rose Maths team are here to help. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with us by email. You can also sign up for our White Rose Maths Parent Newsletter. And of course, we'd love you to follow us on Facebook and Twitter!
We hope that our schemes, videos and other resources will be really helpful for you and your family. If so, please let us know!

Homeschool art projects for kids are the perfect way to encourage your child's creativity!

The freedom you get with homeschooling means you can follow wherever your child's artistic eye takes them.

I've put together our best art ideas and suggestions to tempt all ages.

STOP PRESS! Half a million free images by famous artists have been opened up online by musuems for you to use however you want.

That's a fantastic free art resource you can use for all sorts of homeschool art projects.

Let's start by making a kids art journal:
"My son (who is 11) has decided to have a go at art journaling! Art journaling is an excellent art activity for children. What child doesn't like collecting important things?

It can also encourage drawing beautiful letters and presenting ideas in an artistic way! So many benefits!" ~ Catherine

Ideas to make your art journal:

Focus the journal on an exciting subject your child loves.

A great start might be to begin with what's on the table and objects your child has collected.

If your child has a general idea of what they want to express you can ask them to choose a color that goes well with the idea and maybe a place (coast, ocean, forest, trees, home, whatever). That way they know what to look for in magazines and materials.

You'll need to provide some essentials like magazines, stickers, washi / masking tape, and glue.

Colored card is always good for sticking things on!

Download pictures from the internet and make collecting things for the art journal a fun thing to do on country walks.

The main thing is: whatever your child does will be brilliant!

Studying Artists: The Charlotte Mason Method

If you check out the art resources at the top of the page you'll see lots of free images you can use any way you want.

You'll also find out how to use the Charlotte Mason method to study famous artists.

Homeschool Art Projects For Kids

My daughter Catherine's drew this chameleon (age 11) as part of one of the many art projects for kids we've had fun trying.

Check out more rainforest animals here including free coloring pages.

Obviously, the great advantage of homeschooling is that you can suggest lots of ideas and activities which your child might like so they can see what suits them best.

Would your child like to try kids' art activities with pastels or oil paints?

Does it help to learn to draw by working out basic body shapes first?

Would something like window painting appeal?

The only thing is - I wouldn't make your child try kids' art activities if they don't want to.

Catherine has largely stuck to felt tip pens and colored pencil drawing for the last few years. By staying with something she enjoys her homeschool artistic talents have developed enormously.

Art projects for kids are great as a way of trying out lots of different ideas and activities but you don't have to be good at everything!

Kids Art Projects

Here are some homeschooling ideas based on one essential proviso:

Always buy the best materials you can, whatever the age of your child.

However talented you are, those pale, blunt pencils that always seem to appear out of the hall cupboard are going to make anything your kids do look poor.

Good, attractive, materials are the secret weapon behind many a great homeschooling artist.

Art ideas For Young Children

Use some wallpaper strips for fantastic huge creations.

Get quality pencil crayons and spend the money on good homeschool felt tips.

Chunky wax crayons are fun.

Try . Eggs work well.

is good fun for projects with preschool children.

Glitter poster paint and glue add a twinkle to all activities and homeschooling kids art projects.

You can see more ideas for homeschool art projects for kids - including making pictures by blowing through straws and even painting with your feet here: art ideas for young children

Finally, my daughter was 7 when she made this lovely bird crafts collage with free templates. Try it yourself!

Art Ideas For Older Kids

Looking for easy ways to teach art history for kids? Find great ideas like:

Visiting museums

Listening to audio stories showing what inspired famous artists like Vincent Van Gogh to paint

Setting up an art history timeline

How To Draw books can really help get ideas for homeschool art projects for kids. Seeing the basic body shape s in a geometric form can encourage your kids to tackle animals with a lot more confidence.

Check out Catherine's drawing dragons tutorial.

She takes you through each stage, starting with the head until the final exotic climax.

You'll see lots of fantastic kids art projects in our page on homeschooling activities

"My younger son put together this paint pendulum...(He) enjoys building things!"

Make a Paint Pendulum. This is a lovely project which Nichole shared with me.

You can make a DIY version using a pa per cup, some string, two chairs and large paper!

It's an art project which also boasts a bit of science as you'll be seeing forces and motion through a swinging pendulum!

Coloring sheets can be a good start for homeschool art projects and my daughter Catherine has used her project time making you some!

You can make this fantastic wolf hunt big enough to cover the whole of one wall.

I really rate Klutz books. They've got lots of great titles to encourage kids to enjoy art. I'm going to pick out of a few of the best:
Please note that the product links on this page are affiliate links so if you buy I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Pastels make interesting homeschooling projects by creating interesting color mixing effects.

Oil paints are also worth trying for homeschool art projects for kids; we are just about to start experimenting and I'll let you know how we get on!

Kids Art Activities

Modeling takes artistic talents into three dimensions. You'll know we had a lot of fun when the children were younger with our paper mache recipe. Paper mache models are great for painting, and obviously young children enjoy and kids' activities too.

Clay is wonderful and gives lots of ideas for homeschooling older kids' activities. Both my children go topottery class, and if you find throwing on the wheel too hard you could just invent your own animals like Catherine has with her African wild dog sculpture.

Julie has a wonderful homemade clay recipe for you to try.

Cartoons provide the base for lots of homeschooling art ideas for kids; we have a homeschool friend whose son's love of this particular artistic form has made him into an extraordinarily talented artist.

Kids Art Projects

There are so many homeschool art projects for kids to choose from you'll be spoiled for choice!

Homeschooling gives your child that essential freedom for creativity because they can choose exactly what they want to do when they are ready.

I hope you enjoy homeschool art projects for kids as much as we have!

Design & technology projects to do at home | D&T primary projects | TheSchoolRun

Design and technology is part of the national curriculum. Teacher and parent Phoebe Doyle offers some practical D&T project ideas and suggestions to help your child get hands-on, boost their confidence and have fun (and make mess!) with materials at home.

Design and make models

Make a money box

Age range: EYFS and KS1
What you do: You'll need a box or can which you can make a slot in at the top for the money to go in. Together, decide how to create a flap through which the money box can be opened. Your child can then choose from paints, collage materials, pastels, etc. to decorate their money box.
They're learning about... Collecting, assembling and combining materials.
A t school they might... Make other forms of packaging (for example, lots of schools have children design and make a bag).

'Cook' granola yoghurt pots

Make an egg cosy

Design a boat

Design and technology curriculum changes in 2014

In 2014 there will be changes brought in to all areas of the national curriculum. These changes, broadly speaking, are designed to give schools and teachers more freedom and independence, so some of the objectives and assessments will be more free-flowing and less rigid.

For Design & Technology the new curriculum is said to link the subject more to innovation and digital industries. Critics say the changes threaten to inhibit the creative side of the subject in favour of more rigour and structured work. Pupils will learn about 3D robotics and other IT-related concepts as well as the more traditional elements of the subject.

Phonics is a method schools use to teach your child to read the sounds in words. It helps your child to learn to read quickly and skilfully and is an essential part of your child's early education.

Join in daily Letters and Sounds Phonics lessons on YouTube throughout the Autumn Term. Designed and delivered by experts, our lessons use the Letters and Sounds programme.

If you are not sure which lessons your child should watch or your child finds the lessons too difficult, then your school should be able to recommend which lessons are the most appropriate for your child.

Your child's school will be following one specific programme to teach Phonics. It is helpful to check if Letters and Sounds is the programme your child's school is following to avoid using resources that may confuse your child. Your child's school will be working on ways to help you with this.
