Home-School Learning Competition

As you know, last autumn we held parent/pupil workshops on how to develop the LNF (Literacy and Numeracy Framework) skills at home. Following a year of research and consultation with pupils, parents and staff, it was felt this was the most meaningful and effective approach to homework and parents supporting their child’s development out of school.

 

To raise the profile of this approach to home-school learning, we have launched a competition in school. Children and parents are encouraged to look at the LNF skills information that’s been sent home from each class along with the suggestions of how to practice these skills in a real life context. We would ask that anyone having a go at the activities (or indeed creating their own if preferred) submits a piece of evidence in substitute of the traditional ‘hand in.’ This could be a photograph, a tweet (make sure you include @ffynnontafpri in the body of the message or we won’t see it), a model, a drawing or anything else that shows that one of the suggested skills was practiced out of school.

 

The deadline for this ‘homework’ is Friday 14^th July. At this point, we’ll count how many pieces of evidence we have collected from each class and the class with the most will get to choose an afternoon activity from a variety of fun options.

 

We look forward to your support in this activity. Should you not have received the LNF skills or suggestions, please contact your child’s teacher.
