2 December 2015 Dear Parent/Carer Re: How we teach English and Maths in Year 7 - Parent Engagement Session I am pleased to invite you to attend a session on how we teach English and Maths in Year 7. English: Come and experience a typical Year 7 English lesson. Hear about what your child learns in English and what skills we want them to use in all pieces of work. There will be the opportunity to speak to our English staff. Join us in supporting your child with their English studies. Maths: This will be an opportunity for you to experience how Mathematics lessons are delivered at Caludon and experience some of the methodology we use to teach students. There will also be an opportunity to learn about ways you can support your child at home, the extra resources that are available and how to make the most of them. I am sure that you will find these sessions interesting and useful to you in your role as parent/carer. We will welcome your feedback on the night.
