At Educate Together we actively encourage the involvement of parents in the education of your children. Research shows that children do better in school if parents take an active part in their child’s education.
Join us as a volunteer reader on a regular basis, visit for an hour to show us a special skill or stop by to help with the gardening. There are many ways you can help at our school and we are always happy to hear new suggestions!

< lessSomerdale ET will be marking Safer Internet Day with assemblies and discussion about staying safe online. As teachers, we are often asked for advise or resources for parents and carer’s, to ensure they can help keep children safe when using devices at home. Here are our top three picks for resources:
Your child’s days at school are very busy and exciting. As we want all children to have a positive school experience it is critical that the language used at home highlights and focuses on the positive. Here are some ideas of ways to engage in conversation about your child’s day:
Make time to read together – this should be a calm time for you both to enjoy!
Share books, comics, magazines, catalogues – reading is everywhere and isn’t just your child’s reading book!
If your child is tired, you read the book and get them to spot tricky words in the book, help you with sounding out words etc.
Make mistakes as you read – children love to be the teacher and will correct you!
Spend time each day reading – this can be reading signs of shops, practising tricky words, sharing a book, reading labels on items in the cupboard etc.
Talk about the book – can the children predict what may happen? can they find their favourite part?
Enjoy reading together!
Let your child see you reading at home.
Have fun with reading!
Using mathematical vocabulary – add, take away, more, less half, full, big, little
Encourage and enthuse
Value their mathematical mark making
Make maths everyday and every moment, maths is everywhere!
Ask children to show you. Prove it, Explain it, Draw it! The answer is only the beginning.
Allow them time to explore mathematical concepts.
Be positive about maths around your child.
Build their confidence in their abilities to achieve in maths.
Make time in your week to play games, cook, go to the shops and let them buy an item.
Spot the maths in their environment.
Have fun with MATHS!
