_{Having discussions with your child/ren about significant ways in which war has affected your family as this can help students create extensive background knowledge. Watching documentaries and movies with your child can also broaden and deepend their knowledge - these can be asily accessed on YouTube or can be sourced upon request from a faculty member. Assisting students with homework and assessment tasks can also be a way you can help your child consolidate the information they learn in class.}

_{How can parents help?} 

_{Having discussions with your child/ren and question them about the knowledge they're learning in class. Remember the 'Five Ws' (Who, What, Where, When and Why). Questoning is a fantastic way to gain insight into what a student knows and understands. Consolidating this information is important. Again, watching documentaries and movies with your child can also broaden and deepend their knowledge - these can be asily accessed on YouTube or can be sourced upon request from a faculty member. Assisting students with homework and assessment tasks can also be a way you can help your child consolidate the information they learn in class.}
