Big Maths

Big Maths lessons are fast, fun and furious. Children work on whiteboards and ‘flash’ answers to their teachers and the pace of the lesson is quite exhausting. We need to pass on the pressure to work at pace and have maths facts instantly available, rather than counting on fingers. The children are introduced to child-friendly terms such as ‘Switchers’ and ‘Learn Its’, rather than ‘commutative law’ and ‘number bonds’ to help them manipulate numbers and make them more confident and more successful.

Literacy

Literacy lessons which focus on teaching word, sentence and text level objectives, whilst putting into practice the strategies developed through Read Write Inc. These lessons are tied into the topic theme and are focussed around specific genre. We use strategies from talk for writing as well as using our LNF Pupil Tracker to identify clear next steps.

Numeracy

Numeracy sessions which are taught in line with, but not limited to, the Abacus Scheme of work. These sessions contain 20 minutes of CLIC (Big Maths) and then branch out to tasks which engage children in using, applying and extending the skills they have. Once a week these sessions turn into a guided reasoning carousel.

Guided Reading
