Week 5

 

MATHS HOMEWORK- Multiplication

This week, as part of their homework, your child is asked to complete 2 multiplication facts each night (8 in total).  The second part of this activity is for them to share their calculating methods with you. “Math Talk” is very important to assist in the understanding of the difficult concept of extended multiplication. 

We have completed many tasks on this concept including small group work, peer teaching, multiplication games and Mathletics tasks. Thank you to this week's class photographer, Tilly, for snapping some pics during our maths lessons.







The children’s mastery of this concept will be tested during our Math lesson on Wednesday.  We will begin our “Multiplication Ninja Masters” next week with the aim of your child achieving the different colour belts as they are tested on their table facts.  More information on this next week!

STATIONERY

Many people are currently without the required stationery and they are constantly having to be borrow from others. This is causing a problem, as people are moving around the class unnecessarily, taking longer to organise themselves and interrupting important learning time. Please check with your child that they have the basics: a blue and red pen, a glue stick and a pair of scissors. Thanks in advance!

Term 2 Week 1

Welcome back to Term 2! Commencement of this term will mean different things for different families, as you will be choosing to either continue home schooling or to send your child to school. Please be assured that we will respect whatever your decision is. We continue to have your child's best interests at heart and will be sensitive to their needs and feelings. HOME LEARNING In the weeks ahead we will be posting our home learning programme on the blog each Sunday evening.   This will provide details of the work to be completed in a daily Monday to Friday format.   We understand that parents fit home learning around their daily routines and that activities will take different children differing amounts of time.
