Eating breakfast during maths class isn’t your average morning routine, but that is what some parents did at one of our ‘learning breakfasts’ earlier this month.
The morning event was created as a way to involve parents with their child’s education and to demonstrate how learning activities done in class could also be used at home.
A number of parents with children in Reception to Year 6 attended the series of breakfasts, which focused on maths. Parents spent 45 minutes working on a range of activities with their child, understanding the different ways of learning and seeing what their children were learning in lessons.
Head of School Demelza Higginson, said: “Our learning breakfasts are a brilliant opportunity for parents to not only engage with their child’s learning, but to also understand the different methods of teaching and how they can use those at home too.
“A child’s education doesn’t stop as soon as they leave at the end of the day, so it’s really important for parents to understand what their children are learning at school and how they can continue that learning process at home.
“We had some great feedback from attending parents this time, and we’re looking forward to holding our next one.”
One parent who attended the session said: “Thanks so much for the opportunity to see what my child is learning. Very useful and some good ideas for resources at home.”
