Maths
Please continue to help your child learn their basic facts to 5 (for some of you working on basic facts to 10 is fine). This is something that children need constant practice with, as it takes a while to learn instantly. The $2 shop has a great range of flash cards that are perfect for basic facts recall.
Matheletics is another great way to increase your child’s knowledge and skills in maths.

HELP!!
Is there a lovely parent out there who has spare time (what does that mean?!) to put away the readers that the children take home for reading. I do this once a week so that books are ‘re-stocked’ for other teachers.
Let me know if you can help 
