This was another great week where over half the class had improved their performance on last week. We challenged a Primary 7 guest who managed 100% in record time! Well done. We are motivated and raring to go. This Friday we will be preparing for the Ultimate Challenge Week 1. Are there any parents out there who would like to pop in at 9am on Friday and take the challenge?

Learn Its
A Learn It is a number fact that is learned so quickly it can be recalled as quickly as your own name! There are 72 Learn Its and once they are learned we can then use them and be reassured that in a different calculation ‘It’s Nothing New’. For example, if we know that 8 x 7 = 56, then 80 x 7 = 560 is ‘Nothing New’ just as 0.8 x 0.7 = 5.6 is ‘Nothing New’. This makes all numeracy so much easier as we cover new topics such as fractions and decimals.
By Primary 6 we practise all of the 72 Learn Its at speed. I have given the pupils a pack home with sheets to practise, just orally, not written. You are very welcome to help them with this.
We are having challenges in class with a weekly Friday guest versus P6 and Mrs Shanta. Last week it was Mr Hardy though discretion does not permit me to reveal scores… 🙂
