What has been happening in school? Have a read 😊

• Mathematics Morning

  Mon 23 Apr 2018 M.Jones
  I have had an entertaining day visiting  all the classes looking at the impact of our focus on developing Mathematical Reasoning. It was great to see the iPads being used to support the teaching of key concepts. The children also spent time explaining their thinking and coaching one another.  It was great to see how children use a range of mathematical language and ask lots of questions. Try asking your children to explain the methods they have been using in school, maybe you will learn some new strategies, because we never stop learning no matter what age we are!
