Term 2 Week 5 - Notes and Reminders

• The children enjoyed the Science Alive session on Structures last week and our thanks go to the parents who helped out.
• Keep up practising the basic facts ‘bricks’. Class teachers will test children that feel that they are ready to move onto the next brick on a Friday. Quick recall of basic facts really does make a difference. We often find that children are able to use effective strategies to solve maths problems, but make simple errors because of their lack of basic fact knowledge.
• Over the next few weeks teachers will be carrying out reading assessments with the children and you may find that your child brings home a reading book that they have not read in class.
• Quite a few children would benefit from a reminder to remember to bring home their winter coat at the end of the school day!
