Along with the bilingual and interpreter support we are providing this year, we will also be delivering maths online intervention programmes for our Devon Ukrainian children.
Aim
The aim of this intervention is to support Ukrainian children to understand key maths terminology and practice numerical skills to improve their academic outcomes.
How the intervention will work
EMTAS’s own advisory teacher, who is also a maths specialist will deliver learning via a Teams meeting and children will complete tasks on paper, then provide feedback. A Ukraine support teacher will be available to interpret key messages and support the learners with their language. The initial programme is only suitable to children whose home language is Ukrainian. Each group will receive 6 sessions for secondary and 8 sessions for primary, and there will be children from other schools attending the intervention session. Your school will need to ensure that you provide a quiet place and access to a computer, paper, stationery, and a scientific calculator (secondary only) to complete their intervention.
This is fully funded for all Devon schools (excluding Torbay and Plymouth) and is subject to availability.
Secondary programmes
We will be running three secondary online programmes:
- Group A for those working EL3 – Grade 2 (9:00 – 9:45)
