Welcome to Week 6!
This week in Mathematics we are focussing on ‘time.’ We will be particularly focussing on quarter to/past and half past. I have encouraged the children to ask you to challenge them at home by asking them to read the time at any given point in the day. Encouraging your child to read both digital times (such as on the microwave, DVD player or car radio) as well as reading analogue clocks is great practise. I have also suggested that if they have a (sensible) watch, they might like to start wearing it to school. During my time teaching Year Six over the past few years I have noticed many 10/11 year olds who could still not tell the time. This is such a necessary life skill and a little learning or revision can be done at any time of the day in very short bursts.
A reminder too, that we have our library lesson every Thursday. The children need to bring their library bags to borrow or re-borrow. Borrowed books must be returned before new books can be borrowed.
Have a great week!
Mandy.
