Is My Child in the Right Maths Set?

10/09/2019 06:00:00 PM Education and Parenting , 0 Comments

In primary school, children are split into small maths groups or ‘sets’ according to their ability. This is usually done within the same classroom and taught by one teacher, but each set has to complete different maths tasks based on their academic ability.

Being put in the wrong maths set can be demotivating for children, especially if they’re put in a set lower than they were expecting. However, the majority of primary schools try to disguise set levels by using group names such as red, yellow and green, instead of top, middle or bottom groups. This avoids unhelpful comparisons between children and parents.

There are many benefits to outdoor learning; so many in fact, that it might surprise you. It’s a broad term, but in most prep schools it essentially involves exploration of the natural world, experimenting, going on adventures and discovering new things that cannot be found indoors.

Not all young people are lucky enough to have their own garden, so the availability of outdoor learning at school gives them the opportunity to play outside and get some fresh air and exercise in a safe and controlled environment.  Children often have too much exposure to smartphones, tablets and other digital devices, which might actually lead to both physical and psychological issues.
