After school yesterday, we were joined by some parents and children for the first session of our After School Family Learning Club.

Mrs McCulloch, Miss Allan, Miss Duncan and Miss Findlay worked with our parents and pupils on ‘Number Talks’, which is a new numeracy initiative being taken forward in our school.

The pupils and their parents worked together on a variety of calculations, investigating and learning new ways of working with numbers.

We have seen a big improvement in the ability of our children to solve calculations using efficient strategies since introducing Number Talks in our classes across the school. Many of our pupils are now much more confident in their understanding of number and their ability to tackle difficult calculations using a variety of strategies.

Keep it up everyone!
