Times Tables Facts 26.5.23 – 9.6.23
In Haughmond we are focusing on learning 3 multiplication facts and their related division facts each week. It total we will have a total of around 12 facts to learn each week. This will help us to really secure our knowledge of these facts and be able to recall them quickly. We will practice the facts each day in school and on a Friday will have a check to see how many of them we are able to recall.
This week’s facts are:
8 X 5 = 40 40 ÷ 5 = 8
9 X 5 = 45 45 ÷ 5 = 9
10 X 5 = 50 50 ÷ 5 = 10
5 X 8 = 40 40 ÷ 8 = 5
5 X 9 = 45 45 ÷ 9 = 5
5 X 10 = 50 50 ÷ 10 = 5
Dementia Friendly Schools
At Bomere Heath we are working alongside our church and the Diocese of Lichfield as we become a more dementia friendly school. We have held a whole school Worship where we began to explore what dementia is, how it can impact upon people and what we can do as a whole school community to support those living with dementia.
This video, produced by Dementia UK, is one that we have shared with the children in school.
