Class Activities:   Number
1.  Record and underline the short date with a ruler and record the session's Learning Intention at the front of your maths exercise books.  Please write in pencil, and rule/underline and mark with red pen. 
2.  In class discussion and demonstration with Teacher.  
3.  'Maths Buddy' (targeted support by Miss Kindley) and 'Ludi' focus (due to very small numbers this week).

5.  Reflect on your understanding and effort, in your ' Maths Evaluation '. 

Homework:   
Maths Buddy is your priority for your at-home practice. Please complete your set homework tasks by Friday at 9:30am (Forest's homework routine has now changed to 'Due on Fridays & re-issued on Fridays' to allow you more time).  If you have completed your assigned activities please do extra practice on your 'Ludi'  timetables programme. 

Here's my suggestion re: how to effectively distribute your weekly homework responsibilities this week...
