Supporting your Child

There are many ways in which you can support your child during their learning journey at Sandy Lane.

Get involved with your child’s learning

The newsletter and diary sheet share forthcoming events, opportunities to get into school, workshops, open classrooms, exhibitions and parents evenings.

Check homework diaries and reading records regularly

Staff will communicate through the homework diaries / reading records

Encourage your child to complete their homework

See details of homework expectations on class pages

Look at the topic web each half term

Each class page has a topic web explaining the learning that will be taking place this half term. Talk about this with your child, encourage them to take part in further research, visit areas of interest yourself and get enthused with your child about their discoveries.

Give them time to play

Children need time to play, away from school work, screens, television and the busy school day. Play is crucial to their development. Don’t miss this out!
