MathsClub
Learning about decimal places.

Today we held our first morning of Math’s Club which will be held every Wednesday and Friday morning before school in the library.

All students are invited to visit math’s club and each time students will focus on an area of maths to help sharpen up their skills and generally improve their ability to understand, problem solve and engage in mathematical reasoning and improve their learning.

On Wednesday the focus will be on place value which has to do with learning how to place the decimal point in the right spot. On Friday the focus will be on multiplication and division.

Our Year 5 and 6 students facilitating the activities for younger students which not only helps demonstrate mentoring and leadership skills but helps them to also really understand the concepts they are passing onto younger learners. One of the best ways to learn is to teach!

Parents are also welcome to join your children in the morning for Math’s Club and help them work through some of the activities.

If you would like to learn more please contact the school office on 8886 9600.

    Calling all Grandparents, Mums, Dads and Carers! We need YOU to join in the fun! Dust off those dancing shoes and get ready to boogie. We’re learning the YMCA in the lead-up to Grandparent’s Day on Wednesday 30th July and we'd like you to learn it too. We’re pretty sure you already know the moves, but we’ve got a version that’s guaranteed to get everyone smiling and moving together. Let’s make it a celebration to remember. We can’t wait to see you there, dancing and enjoying the day with us! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylh9l1pdsMs

    On Friday 27th June Kindergarten went to Calmsley Hill Farm for their excursion. Kindergarten students have been learning about living things in Science. They have been discussing what a living thing needs to survive and what living things give us. Kindy were able to milk a cow, pat a chick, duckling and a rabbit as well as go for a ride on the tractor. After lunch the students were able to watch a whip show, dog show and a shearing show to finish the day. All the students and teachers had a great day.
