Year 2 – Thursday, 9th October 2014
Feedback
from Parents:
¨ Very interesting! Even I struggled with
the numbers, so maybe we will all be learning Ocean Maths in my house looking
forward to it.
¨ Workshop was fun!
¨ It was different way to study. It was
interesting today. My son this way to some hard.
¨ Very fun not like when I was in school!
J More teachers to recap at individual
tables, acoustics made it difficult to hear, lovely games, games we were able
to understand.
¨ Some fun, interactive games which are a
good way to learn maths. Liked the hand game & 4 in a row. Thought first
the game was too hard for Yr. 2 & pace too quick.
¨ Great activities and we will enjoy the
games at home but too noisy! My child has a mild hearing loss and simply
couldn’t hear properly in such a big group.
¨ It’s quite fun doing maths this way
with kids; they enjoy and don’t get bored. It’s quite learning as well.
¨ Games are enjoyable but more time was
needed to play the games.
¨ Very good friendly fun games. Hearing
the teacher was very difficult and made the session hard to follow. I conclude
that a class half the size would be ideal and going at a much slower pace.
¨ Very helpful in understanding how the
pace will be used at home. Children responded well to the competitive games.
The noise levels were distracting.
¨ Lovely to see so many people supporting
their children with maths, first game was a bit hard and long winded but we
both enjoyed the morning. J
¨ It was really interesting, we enjoyed
the games.
¨ I couldn’t hear, I didn’t understand all
the games. Teachers had to explain at the tables. Games are fun, children
liked the games.
¨ Good method. A bit difficult for my
child, but I think she will be fine after. We played the game few times.
¨ Player A was too complicates and not
fun.
¨ It was very useful. Thanks. But we
couldn’t hear properly. Hall was too noisy and kids couldn’t concentrate well.
Next time maybe 2 groups will be better.
¨ The workshop was interesting and I
think next time it comes again. They should work on the noise in the room.
¨ Very good games, I look forward to
playing them at home. Thanks.
¨ Very good fun, I would be happy to do
more lessons like this, well done managing so many people.

& practical. Especially for parents, how to help their children when they
work together at home.

wants to play at home. Thanks.

through playing games.

through games.

using methods at home. Will probably be easier with smaller group in room.

very much.

further. I will speak with teacher.

through the games so quickly the kids got frustrated as they could not finish
each game.

don’t get enough time to understand the activity and finish it.
¨ Thank you for every practical method
maths. Asayi enjoying Ocean Maths.

enthusiasm with maths. A little longer on each activity would have been greater

activities. Given that they enjoy the games so I would have liked to see a little
higher level of difficulty.

numbers. Very good.
