The children have shown great understanding with multiplication. This week we will continue to use multiplication strategies and consolidate them. We will also introduce division as the inverse relationship to multiplication. These two operations go hand in hand, and it is important for children to make this connection early on.
We will encourage the children to explore a range strategies to support them with division.

Please make sure you have spoken with your child about what they want to dress up as for the Ancient Civilization day on the 10th May. We are encouraging children to make any accessories their character might have/ wear.
This week the class are starting to become independent researchers. They will choose an ancient civilization to research and answer the questions. The children came up with the questions that they thought would be beneficial to find out last week.
