This afternoon Mr Doyle, our Numeracy subject lead, led a fantastic workshop for parents and children. 

The 7 mental maths strategies were the core focus of the event. Every strategy was explored via theory with worked examples being done collaboratively with those in attendance. Then everyone got the chance to rotate through the practical zones that all offered fun learning techniques and challenges for each strategy. Bespoke resource booklets were given to every parent and will be great reference tools at home.

Thank you to Mr Doyle for co-ordinating the workshop and for the delivery of it. Gratitude is extended as well to our teaching and non-teaching staff for their involvement in facilitation. To all the parents and children who attended, thanks for your participation and we hope that you all took a lot of learning from it.
