Mathletics
Mathletics has really taken hold in Emo National school . We had our first three pupils to receive a silver certificate this week . Well done to Adam Quigley, Victoria Moore and Emily O’Neill Delaney . Fourth class received 12 bronze certificates this week .
You’ll be hearing lots from your child about prediction in the coming weeks . This is the first in a set of comprehension strategies we are teaching the children throughout the school . This strategy involves the ability of readers to get meaning from a text by making informed predictions. Good readers use predicting as a way to connect their existing knowledge to new information from a text to get meaning from what they read.
