Numeracy Open Day
This month we opened up our doors to numeracy, inviting parents to enjoy the learning journeys of their children. It ‘added ‘to the experience, without ‘subtracting’ from the learning. ‘Multiplying’ the fun, erasing ‘divisions’ between school and home.
We held detailed parent information sessions highlighting Mathematics approaches used by teachers, before parents headed to classrooms to join in the fun. A learning experience was had by all.
The feedback from the children was full of positivity-
‘It was really hard and fun and I was a little bit worried but at the end it was amazing because I learned something about figuring out things.’ Mary
‘I loved it because I could prove I’m very good at maths.’ Aggie
‘When my parents came I was really excited to teach my parents to do things! I was happy.’ Ilian
‘When my mum came in to watch I felt really happy. We did number bonds, it was really fun!’ Ella
‘I put a number on my Mum’s head, it was so much fun!’ Dominique
‘I really like it when my Mummy comes into school, we counted to 100!’ Rafi
By inviting parents in to share learning, hopefully, we will all move forward together, towards a positive, productive future in Mathematics.
