PARENTS, OUR PARTNERS Your support and cooperation in instilling values in your child are key to the development of the whole child
ATTENDANCE & PUNCTUALITY Punctuality is a virtue. Be in the hall by 7.25 a.m. for the morning assembly. Students who arrive after 7.30 a.m. will be considered late and their names will be recorded. Update the form teachers when your child is going to be absent from school; this will allow the teacher to prepare the necessary work to help your child when they return to school. Ensure that your child hands in reply slips / forms / homework / letter of excuse / MC promptly.
HELP YOUR CHILD Monitor your child’s online activities Discuss with them about their Internet activities Create a conducive learning environment at home

Read ading Research findings in applied linguistics and reading research consistently show a strong correlation between reading proficiency and academic success at all ages, from the primary school right through to university level: students who read a lot and who understand what they read usually attain good grades."

How c can you ou s support y you our ch child ld? • Promote a positive attitude to Maths Parents are in a good position to let their children know that solving Maths problems can be satisfying. Let your child know that anyone can be good at Maths, that knowledge of Maths is helpful in life, and that it opens up doors to some exciting career options. If your child is struggling and has lost some confidence, go back a few steps to the skills that they feel comfortable doing and build from there.
How c can you ou s support y you our ch child ld? Encourage your child to give explanations When you and your child are trying to solve a problem, have your child share his or her thinking aloud and talk about the strategies that he or she used to reach a solution. If some of your child’s ideas are puzzling, ask your child to explain further. As children talk about their ideas and how they reach solutions, they are learning to reason mathematically. Treat errors and misconceptions as opportunities to develop reasoning skills and new ideas. Also, prompt your child to think of another way to solve the problem.
How c can you ou s support y you our ch child ld? Ask your child to teach you Maths If a teacher in school encourages children to use one approach to doing a maths calculation, such as subtraction, and a parent encourages the child to use a different approach at home, the child may get confused between both approaches. As a parent, instead of showing or telling your child how to subtract the way you learned to do it, a better approach would be to say to the child, “Teach me the way you’re learning subtraction.”
How c can you ou s support y you our ch child ld? Use Maths with your child in daily life In the supermarket, compare the prices of multi-packs of fruit to decide which pack offers the best value. Give children the opportunity to handle money and receive change. Give the child some pocket money and encourage him/her to budget how the money will be spent. When going on a journey, note the distance and the speed and estimate how long is left on a journey.
How c can you ou s support y you our ch child ld? Practice Maths, very much like sports or music, is a skill that needs practice. Direct, targeted practice based on your knowledge of your son or daughter’s strengths and weaknesses, and complementing their school work. But tread a fine balance as too much/too often is likely to burn out even the most enthusiastic learner.
