In the words of Dr Seuss "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you will go." Reading is vital for your child's development, so we naturally want to promote a love of reading here at St Clare's. Your child will have opportunities to read in school but we need your support too and we ask that your child reads daily at home. **RWI Parent Workshop** Below is the powerpoint from the Read Write Inc parent workshop. Please speak to a member of staff if you have any questions. ### Reception RWI Parent Workshop Reception RWI Parent Workshop 1.14 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-clares-manchester/files/documents/Reception_Parents_Meeting.pdf) **Maths** Please see below our Autumn 1 overview for Maths. mastering-number-reception-overview 115 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-clares-manchester/files/documents/mastering-number-reception-overview.pdf) Check out our videos on the four operations: Addition [YouTube video](https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/fjRZKKKLaIo?rel=0) Subtraction [YouTube video](https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/uTbVuaSJicA?rel=0) Multiplication [YouTube video](https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/3pouAmyxw80?rel=0) Division [YouTube video](https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/ACBL_JgTxdY?rel=0) **Think Equal** In Reception we carry out the 'Think Equal' programme, which supports your child's social and emotional development.
