Week 3

 We have had a settled start in Room 5, and we are all getting used to wearing a mask whilst in class.

We are having swimming lessons every day this week.  Everyone is expected to be swimming unless they have a note explaining why they cannot swim.  Please make sure you have your togs and a towel.

Swimming Sports 2022

Thanks to those who have brought in a cardboard roll.  We still need a lot more.

Weather permitting, we will have our opening school Mass on Friday on the school field.  Let's hope the rain has stopped by then.

Please make sure you have a book to read at school every day.  

The school library will not be opening until week 4.

Times table tips for home

Start with the fact families of 0, 1, 2, and 3. When memorizing, it's important to rehearse a small portion of facts before attempting to learn the entire chart. Remember: Your child isn't counting; they are simply memorizing. 

·         If your child is unfamiliar with multiplying, put it in terms of adding. That is, 4x3 is 4+4+4.

·         Have a chart or number line handy showing the numbers 0 through 100. A chart will give you the answers by correlating the row with the column. A chart is better for those just starting off as the answers are quicker to find.

·         A number line is a bit more work. You can have your child circle the multiples of a certain number in pencil or code each number and its multiples with different colours.
