A little about me....
I love being a part of your children's learning journey and watch them grow in their understanding and knowledge. I have been teaching in Crindau Primary for 3 years and have taught children across the school from the younger years to year 6. I love to be creative and I am passionate about the sea! I am looking forward to a brilliant year with your fabulous children.
If you need anything or wish to chat with me please do not hesitate to get in touch on the gate, or via email. I will be sending my email address out on schoop.

The children have chosen their own class rules and can earn DoJo points for

Reading
Children will be given a school book to take home every Friday. If your child has a book bag at home please can they bring it to school.
Please ensure your children bring in their book bags and return their books by Wednesday. If your child is enjoying the book and it takes more than a week to read it please keep it for longer. Enjoy reading at home with your child.
Times tables
In year 3 we learn the x2, x5, x10, x3 and x4 tables.
In year 4 we also learn the x6 table
To start with we will focus on our x10 tables.
Your child will earn stars for learning their tables.
Your child can earn a bronze star by saying their tables in order. E.g. 1 x 2 = 2, 2 x 2 = 4, 3 x 2 = 6
Your child can earn a silver star for saying the answer to a given table. E.g. 3 x 2 = ?, 7 x 2 = ?
Your child can earn a gold star for being able to say the sum when they are given the answer.
They can use the following website to practise their times tables.
