The times tables we are learning are: 6x 7x 8x 9x 11x 12x

 

If we have extra time at home, this is a good way to help us improve our learning:               Practising times tables facts.

  Reading regularly independently and with an adult to discuss children’s understanding of the text.

Mr Nash, the Learning Mentor, can normally help sort out any worries or problems about school life. He or senior leaders are on the playground before school each morning or can be contacted via the office.

 

Our class teacher(s) are always happy to talk to parents and carers about how to help children improve their learning. Catch them at the end of the day to arrange a time to talk, or leave a message at the office. (At morning circle time messages are best passed on via the office/Learning Mentor if senior staff as teachers are greeting the children and starting the day.)
