Another busy week in the hub. We have been working on our Van Gogh artist study, considering our speech topics, preparing for Winter Sport, using think boards to show our understanding of Maths strategies and that's just a snippet!

We are having a big push on learning basic facts at the moment, so please support your child to have quick recall of addition and subtraction facts to 20. Children who do not have good knowledge of these facts struggle when learning strategies, as they will often get the answers wrong. If your child is proficient in these, please encourage their recall of multiplication and division facts to 12x.
