Would you like to learn more about the spelling, punctuation and grammar your children are learning at school? Nouns, verbs, adverbs, prefixes, suffixes, omissive and possessive apostrophes: it can be quite intimidating for parents.
There has been a raised expectation for all children to have a good grasp of language terms and knowledge. On this course you will learn more about some of the new requirements and have fun developing your own skills to help your children.
Date: Starts Tuesday 23rd April (runs every Tuesday for 5 weeks)
Time: 7pm – 9pm
Location: CLMK Centre, Central Milton Keynes Library
