THE
Magical Maths! Represent and explain
THE ANSWER IS JUST THE BEGINNING Year 2 has continued working hard work by representing their mathematical thinking. For the last three academic years, Abbey has adapted its mathematics teaching to ensure that children get much greater opportunity to explain, reason and justify their answers. Additionally, by representing their answers and thinking in a range of ways allows for children to demonstrate their knowledge. This promotes deep-thinking of the problems presented. Abbey’s website also has some examples of children working on different types of calculation. https://abbey-federation.primarysite.media/ playlist/maths-methods EARLY READING AND PHONICS We really want to work together and your help with reading at home can make such a difference! You’ll find a newly created web page https:// www.abbeyfederation.co.uk/parent-guide-to- phonics-and-early-reading/ and this has some really useful video clips and reading material to help you find out about how we teach reading. We’d love you to watch and read the material we’ve put together. Just spending ten minutes a day, learning and playing with the sounds that letters make would really help us. That and story time! For older children, daily reading (and story time too) is one quick and easy way that you can help us to work together to help the Abbey children.
