Remember every child is unique!

Every child has their own journey in life and will learn and develop in their own way.

Learning through play and fun!

Opportunities to learn through games, play and fun at home can support learning in school e.g singing counting songs, or writing birthday cards or cooking

Use of visuals and practical resources

Drawing out the plans for the day or counting with stones help children remember.

Encourage and praise

Motivational rewards and praise always helps!

Learning life skills

Learning to use money, use cutlery, dressing, shoe laces, riding a bike all help children's fine and gross motor skills and confidence.

Listening to children

Listening to children's thoughts, stories, concerns and joys through words, pictures and time spent together support children's wellbeing and confidence.

Setting consistent boundaries and routines
Consistency and clear routines make children feel safe and also help embed daily challenges such as homework or self care skills
