Home Learning

Learning at Home

Here are some ways you can help your child at home:


Maths:

• Mathletics

•  http://nzmaths.co.nz/families

Number knowledge is a key focus:

Some ideas -

• counting forwards
• counting backwards from a given number
• naming numbers
• writing numbers 1-10
• ordering numbers from smallest to biggest
• ordering numbers from biggest to smallest
• asking what number comes before each number
• asking what comes after each number
• forming sets e.g. can you find me 6 blocks?
• simple adding and subtracting - e.g. 2+1=3, 3-2=1

Reading

• Read as often as you can with your child.
• Join the library
• Listen to your child their books from school every night
• Ask - What was your favourite part of the story?
• What do you think will happen next?

Remember to praise, praise, praise

Writing

• make writing fun, use chalk, water and paint brushes, magnetic letters, felt pens and crayons
• work with your child to sound out the words they would like to write
• in class we say the word, hear the sound and write it down
• when they have spelling words help them practise these daily

Have fun learning at home just like we do at school
