Miss Whiteside - Information coming soon
Mrs Magee - HLTA
I have worked for the Meadows primary for many years. Both my grown up children also attended the Meadows too! As a teaching assistant and HLTA I am fortunate to work with children through out the early years and main school settings. Its just wonderful to see how they develop and progress! The meadows is a lovely community to belong to.
During my spare time I love to craft, walk my dogs and run! I also enjoy reading historical novels which has led to my other passion which is looking around flea markets.
We run a two-year rolling curriculum. Odd plans begin in an odd year (2023) and even plans begin in an even year (2024)
Spellings: New spellings are given out every Friday. The children are test on Monday and Friday. The first test (Monday) involves the children simply the spelling the word in a list; the second test (Friday) is where the children should spell the words in a sentence to show understanding.
Reading: Daily reading should be recorded in their diary. Each week, the children should also write in two AF comments.
Mental Maths: Each week the children are given number facts to recall on a Wednesday, which will then be tested on the following Wednesday. Some facts will be repeated to ensure that children keep their skills 'on the boil'.
Homework: One Mathematics and Literacy based homework is given out per week, consolidating skills learnt during the week. Alternatively. the children are given projects linked to the topic from time to time.
In FUN (Fluency, Understanding and Number) in Class 4, our primary focus is to continue to practise the multiplication facts, prime numbers and squared numbers at speed. This is a crucial skill that the children will require in their learning throughout their education. Below you can find a range of video resources we use in class to support their learning at home.
