Parent's Evening tonight - quick good questions. Daughter is 9

[Tinker]

Always dry up or sound trite. Any good incisive questions for me?

[Tinker]

Very sloppy grammar in my title, I do apologise.

[Blandmum]

What are her learning targets and is she meeting them?

If yes, what will she be aiming for next, if not what can everyone do to get her to meet the target.

What does she enjoy most?

What does she need most help with?

Is she happy in the classroom/ playtime?

[Tinker]

Oh, I do like teh learning targets one.

[Blandmum]

I aim to please

[DumbledoresGirl]

I always ask if they appear happy in the classroom or tell the teacher they are not happy if this is the case.

I ask if they are well behaved and I ask if the teacher is pleased with their behaviour.

I know my children are bright and able but I like to know if they are achieving to the best of their ability and if they are stimulated in class and these questions usually give me some idea of that.

How is she doing with recent tests?
A lot of junior school do half termly assessments....

spelling tests - how is she doing?
taimes tables - ditto?
reading - how can we help her improve at home?
writing targets?
How are her relationships with peers/friends/adults in the school?

[Tinker]

Yes, I always ask if she's happy as well. And felt very proud when told she was very kind and thoughtful last time

[jmum6]

Ask which subjects she enjoys and which she doesn't.

Ask about targets, how they're set and whether she's meeting them.

Ask how you can improve her numeracy and literacy at home.

Ask about her personal and social skills, whether she is aware of others around her, of cause nad effect etc.

As k if she's meeting the year 4 (or y5) targets.

Ask if she enjoys school.

[Tinker]

Oh more, thank you. Feel better actually since realise I do usually ask about these things. Other parents always look more earnest than me so thought I must be missing something.

[Tinker]

Her learning objectives were hung from the walls .
