Mental Recall
We are continuing to work hard on our arithmetic and mental recall this academic year. We have uploaded help sheets for each year group which introduces the terms ‘busy and speedy facts’ these can be found on our website. Please encourage and help your child to learn the facts that they need to be able to recall for their current year group. This will stand them in good stead for their SATS at the end of Y6! Children should be able to recall their speedy facts in 5 seconds!
