Parent Groups
Read with Me
‘Read with me’ sessions are an opportunity for you to come into your child’s class and listen to them read or share a story together. In addition, each week have a focus for example ensuring your RWI e-book logins are working, other weeks there will be opportunities for you to watch a RWI phonics lesson in action!
Mrs Banks, our Reading Leader, will be popping in the sessions and you can also book appointments with her if you would like some guidance on phonics or reading at home with your child.
All the ‘Read with me’ sessions are from 8.50am until 9.00am.
Year 1 and 2 are every Monday (Y1s in classrooms, Y2 in the hall)
Year 3 and 4 are every Tuesday
Nursery and 2 year olds are every Wednesday (AM and PM sessions)
Reception classes are every Friday.
PEEP Group
Little Explorers is for our parents and children together and is open to all Little Learners and Nursery parents every Friday. The group is led by our EYFS ELSA, Miss Gillies who is fully trained in PEEP and works in partnership with the Foundation Years Trust.
The groups are relaxed and informal and build on the skills that parents already have. Little Explorers provides a great opportunity for parents to learn how they can encourage their child’s learning at home, though play and fun. Every week, parents are introduced to a new topic in a key area of learning. The topics align with the EYFS curriculum.
Sessions provide parents with background information about how children learn, as well as practical ideas and activities to help build on what they are already doing at home, in order to make the most of everyday learning opportunities, including listening, talking, playing, singing and sharing books and stories
Timid to Tigers
Parenting can be challenging, let us help.
We are very excited to tell you about a unique opportunity happening at Grove Street. Timid to Tiger, a parenting course for parents/carers of anxious children as well as a worry management group for children, is coming to our school.
Timid to Tiger is an entirely parenting-based approach to managing anxiety in children It is based on evidence that anxious children benefit substantially from a parenting style that is clear, calm and consistent.
The group is run by Jen Shaw from Healthbox and aims to explore the role of anxiety within a family and how it develops. It is run weekly over an 6-week period (Tuesdays from 1:30 – 2:30pm) and takes place in The Bungalow . We will have fun and there will be tea, coffee and biscuits!
The course covers:
- Struggling with anxiety
- Improving relationships
- Praise and reward
- Attachment based play
- Cognitive behavioural techniques (CBT)
- Managing behaviour with consequences
