Ideas for helping your child with maths

Posted on Sunday 27 February 2011 by Mrs Wood

This week we are learning to recognise and write the numerals 0-9.  Here are some ideas for helping your child at home.

Choose a number for the week eg 2

Encourage your child to look for this number all the time, at home, in the street and while out shopping.

Choose a different number each week and encourage your child to write the numeral.

Try this website for games to help your child to recognise numerals.

We can write super sentences!

Posted on Tuesday 15 February 2011 by Mrs Weekes

We have been learning even more about sentences.  We all know that a sentence needs:

  • to make sense
  • a full stop at the end
  • a capital letter at the beginning

Now we are even adding a conjunction.  A conjunction is a word that joins two sentences together.  We have been learning to use “but”, “and” and “because”.

Look at our super sentences!
