8. Maths and Numeracy
SEAL maths programme focuses mainly on mental agility and using number for addition, subtraction, partitioning numbers, division and multiplication
Starting to learn times tables
Heinemann Active Maths to reinforce learning
Both programmes use a variety of techniques – oral repetition, using concrete materials, games, songs and written tasks.
Big Maths challenges used to increase speed of recall of number facts
Other maths linked to topics where relevant and can be supported through real life examples, e.g. spending money and telling the time
Focus has moved away from written pages of sums and we use lots of concrete materials and active maths strategies.

9. Home learning Daily reading, sometimes with reading detective activity
Maths activities – weekly or Maths wall including Sumdog access
Weekly spelling with activities
Occasional topic related challenges
Activity wall e.g- play a board game, baking, physical activity
If individual children have found something particularly challenging we might ask you to work on it at home for extra practice

10. Assessment Constant, ongoing assessments of children’s learning
A lot of observations from discussions with children, their written work and from other ways they have displayed their learning
Formative assessment strategies like thumbs up/down, ‘fist to 5’, traffic lights.
We give children immediate verbal feedback and written feedback based on learning intentions for each lesson
Some more formal assessments - from Literacy programme etc.
