Literacy and Numeracy

Mathematics - Daily Review 

It has been pleasing to hear lots of parents ask about Daily Review as their children are talking about this at home. While Daily Review can take many forms, it is about taking learnings from the previous day, week, month or even 6 months and trying to transfer this information from their Short Term Memory to Long Term Memory! Keep asking your child about it!

An example of a basic Daily Review is here if you would like to have a look - https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1hxnLJNhMH5HnYwChLBx7Rzm1tCMA3xP9sUh9MvOkJzA/edit?usp=sharing
