Here is a lost of some websites that might help your child with Literacy and Numeracy.
The list may be added to over the coming weeks, but will give you a chance to access more work for your child if you feel this is required.
Recommended websites for parents:

www.topmarks.com – this website is good for many of the Numeracy strategies that are used in the Glasgow Counts programme.
www.literacyshed.com – good for story ideas and inspiration.
www.oxfordowl.co.uk – this website has a lot of very good reading material but it also has some Numeracy work that your child could complete.
www.kangaroomaths.co.uk – tackles lots of Maths strategies.
www.mathsbot.com – another good Maths website.
http://nrich.maths.org/154 – a good Maths website that can help with problem solving.

Weekly Evaluation
We have been glad to get back to school after the October week.
This week we have done a lot of work on IDL as we didn’t manage to finish this before the holiday.
We have been learning a lot about the benefits of technology and the impacts of mining on the environment and on the people who live nearby places that are being mined. We have been able to connect this to our imaginary community that we created as a class where we live in a beautiful part of the rainforest that has a unique ecosystem that we need to look after. As members of the community, we have been writing diary entries about our concerns over the mining company coming to mine near to where we all live.
We have also completed a Numeracy assessment all about Data Handling. We have also been learning more about Pie Charts in class this week.
Several members of the class have been involved in the running of a stall to raise money for school funds. They have been selling lots of things at the stall.
In PE, we have been learning how to play badminton. We have also had a fitness test that we are going to repeat in a few weeks to see if our fitness levels have improved.
Outdoor learning week
We had a great time during Outdoor Learning week. We felt very lucky that the rain stayed away until Friday!
Here are some photos of what we got up to. We were working a lot on a Data Handling.
