Ways to support your child at home

Please read with your child at home and support them to practise their high frequency words. When you are out and about encourage them to read signs and labels. 

Numbers are all around us - encourage your child to use numbers and numeracy in their every day lives. Some examples of this could be:

- Encourage them to count objects - how many more do you need?
- Give them coins to pay for items at the shop
- Encourage them to learn to tell the time
- Let them weigh ingredients when you are cooking
- Let them measure things around the house 

As well as this, we will be focussing on couting in 2's, 5's and 10's.

                         QUEST

This term we will be going on a "Quest" in which pupils will have opportunities to:

• Explore their identity

• Share their interests and experiences

• Setting goals and aspirations

• Building relationships 

• Understanding their role within the class, community and wider world.

Pupils will use their curiosity to ask good questions such as - what a pirate is and whether they were ‘good’ or ‘bad’. They will learn about the famous Welsh pirate Barti Ddu and where his quests took him. They will investigate floating and sinking and design and evaluate their own boats. They will create maps using their knowledge of positional language.

Our Learn With Me event will take place the week of November 23rd (date to follow)
