From 2nd Grade to P4


Today I received the good news that Vivian has been offered a short-term placement within P4 of the Preparatory School of Victoria College in Belfast.

Some differences Vivian will experience at Victoria College:

-in Belfast, Vivian will have swimming, Spanish, and French classes

-by June, mathematics will cover 11 and 12 times tables; consolidation of 2-10 times tables and dividing facts; multiplying, adding, and subtracting money using written strategies;written methods of division with and without remainders; "money matters" - difference between our needs and wants, how to develop responsible attitudes to using money and learning responsible ways of managing money.
