What is HALS Family Learning ? It is free learning for parents andcarers in schools and childrens centres. Some crche places may

be available for parents with pre-school children.As mums, dads, granddads, grandmas, aunties, uncles and carers,you are your childs most important teachers. We also know youmay have very different educational backgrounds. You may haveleft school with no qualifications, have forgotten skills learnt atschool or would like to simply refresh your knowledge.

You may have also realised that schools teach children in verydifferent ways now from when you were at school. Family Learningwill introduce you to the school curriculum so that you can supportyour child without confusing him or her with different methods youmay know.


14/42

Did you hate maths at school? But did you know that maths iseverywhere, when you get up and get the children ready for school,go shopping or plan a trip? You and your children are using maths.Maths for children is all about playing counting on, halving,doubling and sharing. English is about creating stories, dressingup and acting out different roles.

There are plenty of everyday activities and games we can show youto make it fun for you and your children to learn.You could also learn computer skills along the way!

If English is not your first language , dont worry, we can helpyou develop your skills on Family Language courses which will helpyou support your child. If you dont have a qualification in Englishor maths you may get one with us at the same time!
