As you will have seen in the latest newsletter, staff undertook training in the Big Maths programme. KS1 are very keen to get started and to share these new ideas with the children and as such introduced them to the Big Maths Beat That challenge tasks.
As part of Big Maths, each year Group is assigned a set of Maths "Learn Its". These maths facts just have to be learnt. The idea is the children learn them by heart and can recall them as quickly as their own name.
Potter, Butterworth and Hargreaves each undertook the first challenge this week and the children embraced this with the enthusiasm one would expect from Christ Church pupils. The difference for most of the children was that this is a timed task and so, after the motivational music and pep talk, they have a set amount of time to recall these facts and answer the questions. Each child is then given their own score and has the personal challenge to "Beat that" next time.
In order to help the children, this week, Years 1 and 2 have set the Learn Its as homework. Please help you Year 1 child to learn all 7 facts by heart and for Year 2, choose a selection of the facts and learn theses. Your child will work on the others during school and as future homework.
