Supporting Your Child at School 

Even as children grow, simple activities at home continue to support learning and confidence:

  • Read, rhyme, and play with language – sharing stories, poems, and word games strengthens reading, spelling, and vocabulary.

  • Play with adults – role play, games, and shared problem-solving help children practise thinking, communication, and creativity.

  • Play with peers – cooperative games and group activities help children build friendships, teamwork, and social skills.

  • Encourage independence – taking responsibility for belongings, routines, and homework builds confidence and self-reliance.

Regular shared activities at home, along with play and practice, help children stay confident, curious, and happy learners throughout school.
