Please find attached the maths 'Key Instant Recall Facts' for the next half-term - I will also send home a paper copy of these next week in homework books (Tuesday as normal). KIRFS are the maths facts that we expect children to learn instantly and the ones which will have the biggest impact on their learning and retrieval of facts; these are broken down into half-term, bite size chunks. We share these with you so that you can help your child to develop this recall at home as well as at school.
Merry Christmas to you all!
We have had a super start to our treat day today (see photos attached). We have already had an assembly, done some crafting, completed an elf treasure hunt and kept up to date with the antics of our class elf, Elvis. He will be leaving us soon to go and help Santa), but it's been lovely having him each day leading up to Christmas (and the children have done some super writing, keeping a daily diary of his activities!!!).
See photos of us in class this morning. Here we had just enjoyed our hot chocolates (we are complete with some chocolate moustaches!) and some Christmassy maths. This afternoon we will have a Christmas film. The children have worked so hard this term, they definitely deserve it!
I've had a wonderful term with your children and I look forward to spring and summer with the Starlings. I'd like to say a big thank you, also, for all of my cards, presents and the class gift. It's really kind and generous of you to organise this and I appreciate it very much.
Have a restful Christmas break and see you in 2024!
