Maths today is based on timetables. Why don’t you try to fill out a timetable of your week. This can be a plan for this week, or you can fill it out for what you did last week. Remember to put the digital times against each activity for practice. Here are 2 blank timetables you can use if you have a printer, or maybe you can create and decorate your own?
We thank you for your continued support and hard work.
Miss Smith and Mr Woodward
