Home Learning
At Prendergast Primary School, our home learning projects support our holistic approach to learning and the nurturing of creativity in all children.
Moving away from traditional worksheets, the projects are an opportunity for children to consolidate their learning through activities designed to encourage application of skills acquired during school as well as outside school experiences and knowledge. We believe that this approach to home learning is hugely relevant for the way in which children will work in the future, with schools and workplaces increasingly requiring and highly valuing creative thinking and problem solving.
We are passionate that this approach is the best way in which to create well-rounded learners, critical thinkers and creative problem-solvers. The projects are always linked to our topics and include such things as 3D models of London landmarks, mathematical board games, puppets and presentations. Children also have the opportunity to share their projects with all parents and carers as well as other children and teachers in our home learning sharings at the end of each half term.
The projects are a brilliant opportunity for parents and carers to collaborate with their children, supporting and sharing their ideas, showing children that learning can happen anywhere, not just in the classroom!
