LEADING TEACHER'S REPORT

Here at EEPS we are all continually striving to provide opportunities for all students to be involved in all aspects of learning. During the last few weeks it has been exciting to see the Numeracy activities going on around the school lead by our Numeracy Leader Kristy Grant and her team, and equally embraced by students and staff in the implementation of these learning opportunities and activities.

The Maths Timetables Ninja Competition has begun. The aim of this is to encourage students to practise multiplication facts and achieve “belts” acknowledging their growing achievements. Please support your child at home as they practise recalling these number facts to improve the speed and accuracy.
