Maths support—
support—Each week we will cover success criteria for all year
groups. This was used in the Maths Meeting for Parents last year.
Reception
Core learning
Count reliably up to 10 everyday objects (Counting and Understanding Number)
Learning objective
We are learning to count objects reliably
Success criteria
Remember to…
• Move each object in turn or touch each object whilst saying the next number (counting)
• Only count each object once
• Record the last number you say as that is the number of objects in the set.
Core learning
Select two groups of objects to make a given total of objects (Knowing and Using Number Facts)
Learning objective
We are learning to add two numbers together
Success criteria
Remember to…
• Count how many objects are in the first group
• Carry on counting from the last number you said for the first group when counting the second
group (don’t start at one again)
• Check whether the last number you say (total) is the same as the target number
(It may be necessary to revisit counting success criteria):
• Move each object in turn or touch each object whilst saying the next number (counting)
• Only count each object once
• Record the last number you say as that is the total number of objects in both groups
Core learning
Share objects into equal groups and count how many in each group (Calculating)
Learning objective
We are learning to share objects equally
Success criteria
Remember to…
• Give one object to each of the groups, then another… carry on until you have run out of ob-
jects
• Only give one object to each group at a time
• Give the same amount of objects to each group
• Count how many objects are in each group and check they are the same

Some of you may have read recently in your local press about the Greenwich
girls cricket team winning an appearance at Lord’s Cricket Ground next month
after getting through the qualifying rounds. In that team was Jennifer Milliams
who was in our year 6 last year.
We wish her and the team well for their Super 8 final on March 6th.

Fronter
A number of parents attended our introduc-
tory meeting to Fronter before half term
and were able to have a go before the site
went live on Friday 12th. Miss Fisher and
Miss Cross attended a meeting with other local schools and were praised on how much
Brampton had achieved at this initial stage. We hope you have enjoyed using our Fronter
site over half term and look forward to this becoming an integrated part of our school
work. Many thanks to Miss Cross, Mrs Evans, Mrs Painter and all the teaching staff who
have worked so hard in supporting this new initiative and getting their year and class
pages up and running on top of their nor-
mal work. It has been a high learning
curve for them all!
