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?
This week's Spirit stars are..........
You'll have to wait and see!
