Helping Your Child

Here at St. Matthew’s we aim to work in partnership with parents to support children’s learning. Should you ever have any concerns about how your child is progressing or feel you need some ideas for helping help your child with their learning, please talk to your child’s class teacher.

We hope that you find the following useful to help you support your child’s learning.

Mathematics

Visit the new NRich Wild Maths website to find lots of mathematics based activities that you can try with your children at home.  AS the website itself states, “Mathematics is a creative subject. It involves spotting patterns, making connections, and finding new ways of looking at things. Creative mathematicians play with ideas, draw pictures, have the courage to experiment and ask good questions.  Wild Maths is a collection of mathematical games, activities and stories, encouraging you to think creatively”.
