How has your child improved? Big difference in writing and class teacher has provided practical advice on how parents can help at home. Academic progress has been good throughout school. Youngest child has thrived in apple class academically. Confidence has grown and more willing to interact (5). Her reading (4) and writing is fantastic. Her fluency and reading has hugely improved and become more confident answering questions on assessments. Writing has improved in legibility and structure. Reading more confident and raving reader incentives encourage. Enjoys learning enjoys the different topics. Their behaviour has settled better attitude to learning. Broader vocabulary. Couldn’t read or write at the start of the year and now can!
Learning beyond the classroom has also been a focus. What have you appreciated? Kanga. Wild Explorers (5) Running club, Young Voices (2), gardening (2) different topics in science. Sandylands (2). Library visits 92) . Support in getting child to read at home. Visitors to class. Teachers thoughtful. Class worship. Walk to Malham and stay in YHA. PSHE and sports day.
Thoughts on any responses above? Homework can be tricky as tired at night and needs to get sleep.. PTA bake sale was great. ‘My child is happy at Gargrave School, everyone is kind and considerate’. Amazingly narrow curriculum. Range of subjects studied– often coming home recounting the things learned. Need and role or tutoring.
Now thinking about the next year, what would be your number one idea for us to consider?
Don’t like spelling shed (2) concerned about the impact- try spelling lists/ tests?
More after-school clubs (2) such as team building, sports.
Books- review books in year 4- option to read for pleasure to count on Raving Readers.
More music in Year 1 and year 2. More singing.
Communication- emails- more detail on how parents can help (3) consider other ways of communicating such as dojo, sharing successes in other ways- look at other schools ideas.
Cost of Triangle Club especially when have more than one child – greater than average.
Music lessons- how to sign up for them.
Dance- too often.
Choir
Running club
Swimming for longer
Vary class worship- perhaps to a Friday?
Full length parents race on sports day- bean bag on head?
