Organising your child's school papers can seem like a daunting task, but with a little system in place, it can become manageable and even enjoyable. Start by designating a specific area in your home as the 'homework hub'. This could be a sturdy box or a file organiser where all school-related documents can be collected.

Begin by sorting through the papers into categories such as ‘completed work’, ‘important notices’, and ‘artwork’. Once sorted, consider a filing system with labelled folders for each subject or term. This will make it easier to find what you need when helping with homework or preparing for parent-teacher meetings.

For particularly special pieces, like memorable artwork or significant projects, think about creating a 'memory folder' or an album. This not only showcases your child's achievements but also keeps sentimental pieces from becoming clutter. Lastly, make it a routine to review and sort through the papers together every month. This instils a sense of responsibility in your child while maintaining an organised space. With these simple steps, the task of organising school papers becomes a collaborative and manageable endeavour.
