Number Talks Number Talks are used in Preschool and throughout the Primary School to encourage a group of children to talk about and make sense of numbers. We aim to improve students accuracy, flexibility and efficiency by talking about numbers and explaining. The main area that Preschool focus on is subitising. This means they will have the ability to recognise the number of objects in a small group without the need to count. Resources we use to support this are dot cards, five frames, ten frames and rekenreks. UWCT Parent Book Club The aim of the Book Club is to provide parents with an opportunity to discuss books about parenting and advocating for children. The next book we will be reading is Raising Girls by Steve Biddulph. "Biddulph explores girlhood through five stages: security, exploration, learning to get along with others, finding one's passion or "spark", and preparing for the freedom and responsibilities of adulthood." This book is recommended for parents of girls of all ages. You may even want to read this book if you are a parent of a boy! We will read the book over several weeks (one-two manageable chapters each week) and meet every Friday starting from Friday 11 November from 0820-0900. You will need to purchase your own copy of the book or eBook. If you are having trouble ordering a digital copy these can be ordered through Amazon priority shipping.
