We love Maths!!

It's true - especially when we do it all day - and don't have to do any sums at all! Here are some of the activities we undertook on Friday Sept 19th.

Meet the Teacher

At Monday's 'Meet the Teacher' event, I outlined some of the things that your children can expect to be learning in my class this session, and some of the exciting things we will be doing. Our IB themes for this term will be 'Signs and Symblols' and 'Our Island Home' and I hope that you will support your child with homework assignmenst related to these. They will also be doing guided reading, as part of the national literacy strategy, and I hope that you will take time to share the books with your child in preparation for or follow up to in-class activities. We are enjoying using a new Math tool this term called Every Day Counts. This gives a quick daily practice in the basics of math at this level - it includes calendar work, counting activities, sequence and pattern, shape, money, time and much more. All the children have a chance to be active learners within this activity and we are having fun working with it. We are counting up to the 100th Day of School which will be a big celebration! Homework will be given each night (except for HSA meeting nights - so that you can all come to the meetings!) and I would ask that you give your child support and guidance in completing these tasks. We have new homework record books in which we would ask that you sign weekly so that we know you are aware of the homework your child is doing - please also use it for any messages to school or comments on your child's work. I am looking forward to a great year with your children!
