Our children spend a lot of their day sitting down. In lessons, doing homework, travelling to and from school, then probably some screen time thrown in there too.

So getting them moving is really important. 

Exercise supports children’s physical health, but it can be good for their mental wellbeing too. It gives them a break from schoolwork, gets them outside and can help with things like mood and sleep.

It doesn’t really matter what the activity is either.

Some children love football or gymnastics. Others would much rather go swimming, ride their bike, dance around their bedroom or run around the park with their friends.

For National Fitness Day, we’d love to hear what gets your child moving. And yes, charging around the house probably counts.

They know how to do it. They’ve just lost marks because they didn’t read the question properly.

Again.

If your child tends to race through their work, it’s worth getting them used to slowing down before they start rather than relying on checking everything at the end.

Get them to read the full question first and look for exactly what it’s asking them to do. With maths, that might mean showing their working or checking they’ve copied the numbers correctly. With English, they might have missed an important word in the question altogether.

Another thing to try is asking them to go back and find one thing they’d change before you look at their work. It gets them into the habit of spotting their own mistakes rather than waiting for you to do it.

A couple of extra minutes can save a lot of “but I knew that!” afterwards.

“Yeah, I get it.”

Sometimes they do...

Sometimes they just really want you to stop asking! 🤭

If you’re not sure something has properly clicked, ask your child to show you how they got their answer rather than asking if they understand.

You might notice they can get started but don’t know what to do next, need lots of little prompts from you, or struggle as soon as the question is worded differently.

Another good test is asking them to explain it back to you in their own words.

They don’t need to use all the right terminology.

You’re just checking whether they understand what they’re doing and why.

And if they don’t? That’s useful to know. You’ve found the bit they need some more help with (which you can always reach out to use for 😉)

How can you help your child build their literacy skills at home?

Literacy doesn’t always mean sitting down with a book or doing extra schoolwork. Reading and writing are a part of everyday life more than we realise.

Here are some ways you can support literacy at home:

💡 Ask your child to read the recipe while you’re cooking.

💡 Let them choose books, comics or magazines about things they’re genuinely interested in.

💡 Get them to write the shopping list or a birthday card.

💡 Talk about what they’re reading and ask what they think might happen next.

💡 Play word games together, whether that’s Scrabble, a crossword or making up silly stories.

It’s the little everyday things like these that give children more opportunities to read, write, learn new words and talk about their ideas.

Back to school also means getting back into the school night routine. 💤

And after weeks of later nights and slower mornings, that can take some getting used to! (Believe us... we feel the same!) 

Children need plenty of sleep to help them concentrate, learn and get through a busy school day.

Rather than focusing on one set bedtime, work backwards from when your child needs to wake up in the morning. Remember to leave some time for actually falling asleep too.

A calmer wind down can help. Try putting screens away before bed, getting bags and uniforms sorted earlier in the evening and keeping bedtime fairly consistent through the week.

How has the return to school nights gone in your house? Straight back into the routine or still adjusting?

We probably shouldn’t be encouraging this... but we want to know!

Ask your child this one tonight:

If you could remove ONE subject from school forever, what would it be?

And they have to tell you why.

Parents, you can play too.

Which subject would you have happily dropped when you were at school?

The new school year has only just started, so nobody expects children to have everything figured out straight away.

But you know your child.

If they struggled with something last year, lost confidence in a particular subject or came home regularly feeling frustrated by their work, starting a new year doesn’t automatically make that disappear.

You don’t need to wait for a test result or parents’ evening before looking at what would help.

Putting support in place earlier gives children time to work through difficult areas at their own pace, ask questions and build their confidence before they start feeling behind.

At Thrive, we offer one-to-one support across Primary, 11+ preparation, KS3, GCSE and Functional Skills.

If there’s something you’d like your child to feel more confident with this school year, get in touch and tell us what’s going on.

You’ve waited all day to hear about their first day back.

You ask how it went and get...

“Fine.”

Followed by absolutely no further information.

Instead of asking a big question like “How was school?”, try something more specific:

What made you laugh today?
Who did you sit next to?
What was the best part of your day?
Did anything feel difficult?
What did your teacher talk about?
What are you looking forward to tomorrow?

You still might get “I don’t know”, but a smaller question can make it much easier for children to start talking.

And sometimes the full story arrives completely unprompted three hours later!

And just like that, the summer holidays are over!

We’d like to wish every child heading back to school this week the very best of luck for the year ahead.

For some, it’s a return to familiar classrooms and friends. For others, it’s their first day at a brand new school, with new teachers, new faces and plenty to get used to.

There might be excitement, nerves or a mixture of both, and that’s completely normal.

Here’s to new experiences, growing confidence, plenty of learning and lots of moments to feel proud of along the way.

Good luck everyone. We hope you have a brilliant first week back!

A new school year can be a good time to put extra support in place.

Your child might be preparing for the 11+, heading into an important GCSE year, struggling with a particular subject or simply needing some extra confidence before going back to school.

Our tutoring is built around the individual child. We can spend more time on the things they find difficult, adapt how we teach to suit them and give them the space to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in a busy classroom.

We’re currently taking enquiries for September across our tutoring services.

If you’ve been thinking about tuition for the new school year, send us a message and tell us a little about your child and the support you’re looking for.
