Things to remember:

 

Reading

Please remember to read lots at home and record in your diary. Please read other things besides your school reading book- the more the better- for example, other story and non fiction books,  poems, magazines, signs, even ingredients on packets!

 

Times Tables 

Please remember also to practise your times tables- focus on the 2X 5X and 10X tables in Derwent Class.

 

Remember:- Bronze means you can say the whole table in order- eg "one times two is two, two times two is four....." fluently.

 

Silver means you can say the answer to any sum from the times table eg "what's 4 x 5?   What's 8 X 5 ?

 

Gold means you can say the reverse division fact- eg in five times table, what's 20 divided by 5? how many fives in 15?

In ten times table, what's 50 divided by 10?

 When you practise spellings, it's a good idea to write  a sentence  including the spelling word you are learning. Then you are more likely to remember it !
