Numeracy and Maths

In our math lessons, we are focusing on consolidating our learning. This means we’ll be revisiting key concepts and reinforcing our understanding through various activities.
Our goals include:
Reinforcing core skills: We will practice and solidify our understanding of fundamental math concepts to ensure a strong foundation.
Applying knowledge: Students will work on applying their math skills to solve real-life problems and complete challenging tasks.
Encouraging problem-solving: We will engage in activities that promote critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
By consolidating our learning, we aim to build confidence in math, preparing students for more advanced concepts and applications.

Literacy

In our literacy lessons, we are engaging in a range of activities to develop and enhance our reading and writing skills:
Reading for Pleasure: We are encouraging students to read widely and enjoyably. This includes exploring a variety of genres and authors to foster a love of reading.
Spelling: Students will focus on improving their spelling through targeted practice and activities.
Grammar: We are reinforcing grammar rules and concepts to help students use language more effectively.
Writing: Our writing activities will include creative and structured tasks, allowing students to express themselves and develop their writing skills.

Through these activities, we aim to build strong literacy skills and a lasting enthusiasm for reading and writing.
