Passport to Numeracy
We have recently been working on a 'Passport to Numeracy' which is designed to help primary schools prepare their students for the new NCEA Numeracy assessment taken from Year 10.
The passport is a guide to the mathematical skills which students need. To accompany the passport, we have been working on some assessment materials so schools can find out where any gaps are in an individual's learning. This resource is ongoing and will be updated accordingly.

Reading for Fun: JayDee
Reading out loud to your child/ren stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding and development of language. It is also a nice quiet one on one time with each other.
JayDee has enjoyed reading The Dragon Defenders series by James Russell. He says getting his parents to read to him is choice.
