How to help your child at home
READING
Please encourage your child to read a range of different genres. The more they read, the better their vocabulary becomes, which also improves their independent writing.

WRITING
Please help your child to write cursively and neatly whenever they are writing anything.

UNFINISHED WORK
If work is not completed to the best of a child's ability, then it will be sent home to complete.
The most helpful thing you can do this year is encourage your child to show independence, responsibility and to try their best!
Help them to make the most of their final year at Winkfield St Mary's.
