• Parent Workbooks – White Rose Maths

  Thu 31 Dec 2020

  White Rose (our Maths Scheme provider) have produced parent workbooks (workbooks pupils can complete) covering all National Curriculum Year Groups (Years 1- 6). The link to the workbooks can be found on our Mathematics Curriculum webpage should you wish to use these with your child/children.

   

  I would like to take this opportunity to remind all of our parents and pupils that we have lots of really useful and essential maths links on individual year group webpages and on our Mathematics Curriculum webapge to reflect our use of Maths Mastery techniques in our classrooms.

  The links provide a wide-variety of fun maths games and activities that can be used at anytime to hone your childrens' maths skills.

  I have chosen these particular websites as, with regular use, these activities will further develop your child's mathematical  skills to assist them in getting the most out of maths at Meopham Community Academy.

  To obtain the greatest benefit from the activities, I would encourage all of our pupils to visit these websites at least once a week for 10-15 minutes - perhaps they could incorporate this time into their home-learning regime.

• Online Safety Update – For Children with New Devices

  Wed 16 Dec 2020

  Christmas is almost upon us once again, and soon some lucky children will be excitedly tearing the wrapping off a new mobile phone, tablet or games console. For some of them, it will be the first time they’ve owned a device that connects them to the online world. Even for older children, a new device means new corners of the digital landscape to explore – and unfortunately, new risks to be aware of.

  In the guide, you'll find tips such as how to turn location settings off, how to discourage device dependency and how to set up parental controls.

  Check out the parent's guide to setting up new devices as well as Parent guides on popular apps on our dedicated Online Safety pages...
