Brain4Maths<br />
Brain4Maths is a project run by University of Oxford’s scientists<br />
investigating how the brain supports maths in children and young<br />
adults. The study involves a safe brain scan using an MRI scanner to<br />
collect brain images and a session involving a series of puzzles. We are<br />
currently recruiting children aged 6, 10 and 14, and A-Level students<br />
in their first year. Children receive a voucher and a Brain Art certificate<br />
to say thank you for taking part. Parents will also be compensated for<br />
their time. To know more contact Laura at brain4maths@gmail.com<br />
or 07464 755 010. CUREC REF: MS-IDREC-C2-2015-016<br />
Ensure your child’s new school<br />
year gets off to a confident start<br />
with Kumon<br />
It is common that most children start their new school<br />
term with fresh notebooks and a crisp new uniform,<br />
but it is just as important to ensure they are equipped<br />
with the most vital tools needed for going back to<br />
school; a good grip on the core subjects of maths<br />
and English and the learning skills vital for academic<br />
progression.<br />
At your local Henley-on-Thames Study Centre,<br />
Kumon offers individualised maths and English<br />
study programmes tailored to all ages and abilities.<br />
Established for almost 60 years, the Kumon<br />
programmes enable children to develop their<br />
independent study skills and confidently tackle<br />
advanced work beyond the international standard for<br />
their age.<br />
Through the maths and English programmes, Kumon<br />
will nurture your child’s independent study skills,<br />
so they can apply this approach to all subjects and<br />
outside of school too. Each student follows their<br />
own path of study; they begin at their individually set<br />
starting point and move through the levels at their<br />
own pace.<br />
