Sunday October 9 All Ability Cycling with Trafford Wheelers

Why not come along for some fresh air and try out the all ability cycles on the second Sunday of the month, at Trafford Wheelers Longford Athletics track, Ryebank Rd Stretford M21 9TA.

Sundays 1-3pm. £2 per session. This is an open session for all but we have agreed with the organisers that we could designate the second Sunday of the month as a time when members of our group can turn up for a get together. There is somewhere we can eat sandwiches and have a drink if you would like to bring lunch or snacks. If you want to know about the types of cycle available, call Helen for details 07871621778.

Numicon

Children with Down syndrome often find understanding number more difficult than learning to read. Numicon is a visual approach to understanding the many concepts of numeracy, linking numbers, counting, order, addition, subtraction and eventually multiplication and division to a strong visual representation. Current research with children with Down syndrome in the Portsmouth region supports its use. It is, in fact, a very useful resource for all children, in particular children who are visual learners.
