Small moments at home can make a big difference.

Sharing a story, counting while cooking or talking about the day all give children opportunities to learn and grow. At Our Lady & St Oswald’s, we want parents and carers to feel confident supporting their child’s learning.

   You don’t need to recreate the classroom at home. Your time, interest and encouragement are a     valuable part of your child’s learning journey.

   If you are unsure where to start, need help accessing a resource or find that your child is                 struggling, please speak to their class teacher. We will work with you to find an approach that         helps.
