A big thank you to all our amazing classroom assistants and teachers who continue to put Maths & Numeracy at the forefront of learning within our school.
Parents, it is important that you continue to reinforce the learning that is happening in school by helping your child to develop the relevant Maths topic language, practical, mental, written strategies and experiences at home. Whether it is for Number, Shape & Space, Handling Data, Measures or Problem-Solving, your partnership and positive attitude to Maths with your child is invaluable! Information on how to support or challenge your child can be found in the many printable booklets and videos within Mathletics, in ‘Curriculum’ or ‘Links’ on the school website and in the many photos and suggestions below.🌟
