On Tuesday 12 January, we will be holding Numeracy Workshops. These will focus on addition and subtraction. There will be one workshop in the afternoon, and one workshop in the evening. These workshops will give you the opportunity to discover more about how we teach addition and subtraction in the school and the methods the children will be learning. Each workshop will have three sessions. They will be based on year groups.
The afternoon session will start at 1.30pm and finish at 3.00pm.
The evening session will start at 6.00pm and finish at 7.30pm. (This is a repeat of the afternoon session).
The sessions will run as follows
1.30pm / 6.00pm Years 1 and 2
2.00pm / 6.30pm Years 3 and 4
2.30pm / 7.00pm Years 5 and 6
You are welcome to attend all of the sessions, or those you feel are appropriate for your child/children. We would recommend that if your child is in year 3, you also attend the year 1 and 2 session and if your child is in year 5 you also attend the year 3 and 4 session. If your child is in the lower year groups, you would benefit from seeing the follow on sessions.
During the workshops you will be given our school calculation policy.
We would strongly recommend that you attend one of the workshops in order to fully support your child with their numeracy.
Later in the term we will be holding a workshop on multiplication and division. Please note this date in your diary: Tuesday 30 March 2010.
Please could you reply on the attached slip as to which workshops and sessions you will be attending. There will be a crèche available for both sessions, but we need to know the numbers and ages of the children.
Homework set during the week of the workshops will be related to what we have covered.
Please could you return the form by Friday 18 December. Thank you.
