Hello Welbeck class, parents and carers,
This week the homework focuses on negative numbers. We have spent some time this week revising our knowledge on negative numbers so hopefully this work will enable us to apply the methods that we have learnt.
Please continue to encourage your child to log on to Bug Club at least three times a week. The books that are allocated to your child all have a range of comprehension questions that will test your child's understanding of what they are reading. Comprehension is just as important as word fluency and needs to be developed especially towards the end of KS2.
From recent times tables tests it has become apparent that some children are struggling with the 7 and 8 times tables. Please practise these with your child or encourage them to log on to Times Tables Rockstars as times tables plays an important role in all aspects of Maths.
I am looking forward to speaking to you all after the Easter break as part of our parent/carer consultation meetings. If you haven't already booked your slot please follow the link sent over parent mail. If you have any questions or concerns before your appointment please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Take care,
Miss Tomlinson
