• KS1 Maths Open Lesson

  Mon 03 Oct 2022

  This morning parents were invited to join in our maths open lessons both in year 1 and 2. Parents found the session very helpful and were able to take tips away on how to support their child at home. The focus of the session was on the concrete, pictorial and abstract approach and how to best use manipulatives to help children's mathematical understanding.

• Maths Open Lesson with parents/carers

  Fri 30 Sep 2022

  A kind reminder that parents/carers are invited to our maths open lessons next week!

   

  The sessions will show how Mathematics is being taught at our school. Mathematics is essential to everyday life and at Sir John Heron we are passionate about ensuring our children are skilled with the knowledge needed to be successful young adults. During the workshops, we will be focusing on addition, subtraction and questioning within classes. You will be able to view some of the calculation methods taught in school using concrete, pictorial and abstract representations.

   

  By attending the workshop, we hope that you will feel more confident when supporting your child with their maths homework or asking questions when discussing their school work in general.  There will be the opportunity for you to ask questions also.

   

  Take a look at the time slots below:
