Family learning sessions
We are delighted to bring you family learning sessions open to all families in EYFS and Key Stage 1 around making Literacy and Maths learning fun at home. This has been very popular in the past with our children and families.
This will be in Spring 2 where families will receive free high quality books each week to keep at home. In school we will read the books together and then try out some activities related to the story. There will be some home tasks to try out as a family too before the next session. There are a series of 4 - 5 sessions where families can work together with the children in school time and then continue the activities at home.
Watch out for the dates for these sessions!

Family learning sessions 2025
The four family learning sessions were a big hit with both the children and their parents. In Session 1, Kipper the Dog Activities, everyone enjoyed listening to the story and taking part in fun and themed craft activities. Session 2, Dinosaurs, Birds and Reptiles, sparked lots of excitement as the children shared what they knew and learned new facts about their favourite creatures. Session 3, Insects, got everyone involved in exploring the world of bugs, with plenty of hands-on activities and chances to talk and learn together. Session 4, the cooking session, was a real favourite as the children loved baking together Gingerbread Men and retelling the story. One of the highlights of each session was the chance to take a book home, which families appreciated, as it encourages more reading at home and gives children a lovely reminder of what they had enjoyed during the sessions.
Family learning sessions 2023
The children and Parents had great fun in Session 1 of family learning. Have a look at our fabulous pom-pom animals which we made! We had spiders, penguins, whales, a shark, ladybirds and lions!
We read a story about different animals and took home activities that we can do at home such as writing different animal fact files and reading up facts about our favourite animals.
As you can see the Parents were just as busy as the children!
