How can you help?
It is very important children understand the world around them and what is happening in different parts of the world, in order to broaden their world outlook. There is an abundance of information that children may acquire through television, the media, from conversations at home and from their own observations. Please engage with your children about current affairs and try to harbour any interests they may have, by researching topical issues or further developing the knowledge they have acquired in lessons.
