Numeracy
A Numeracy Hour takes place daily in each room. There are a lot of experiences relating to numbers which children work through before they actually start doing “sums”. It is a help, therefore, if children are encouraged at home to sort out things – sets of cutlery when laying the table, colours or shapes etc – before numbers are even introduced.
Let your children handle coins and learn their values. Children who have grown up calling all coins “pennies” take much longer to learn about money. Some children find the passage of time difficult to understand, so talking about “today”, “tomorrow”, “yesterday” and days of the week will be of great help.
Simple boxed games like snakes and ladders are also useful number activities where children can learn to take turns and to recognize numbers.
The National Numeracy Strategy is now firmly established in school, this means that a greater emphasis is placed upon oral and mental maths – and less upon written “sums”.
Schemes of Work – If you would like to see the complete schemes of work which staff use in preparing their lessons for the children, please ask the Headteacher who will be pleased to show them to you
