Feedback from our survey included:
What did you find out about your child’s learning that you did not already know?
- That they were doing human biology.
- My child knows more than he shows at home.
- I saw Didbook for the first time, it’s great.
- My child  is happy to accept help when offered
What other information would you like us to provide during Visit My Class sessions?
- Some feedback from teachers. I feel the gap is maybe a touch long between feedback sessions.
- If there is anything my child needs to improve on.
In what other ways can we support you to support your child at home?
