Do you feel that you learned more about your child’s educational experience at Strawberry Fields?

I did like seeing all the different ways they can learn.

It was useful to see an example SATs paper and find out the type of work Y6 are currently doing.

Did you find the film at the start informative/interesting?

Very interesting!

Do you feel better able to support your child with their reading and spelling learning as a result of attending the session today?

My daughter knows what she needs to improve, and watching the video together highlighted what we could do more of.

Do you have any further comments?

Thank you. I always enjoy these events with my child.
