PRINCIPAL’S COMMENTS

12th June 2015 ISSUE 9

Don’t forget our SunSmart Policy. Hats to be worn during

Terms 1 and 4.

Each week we find several pieces

of lost school uniform that has

been handed in. Most items of

clothing do NOT have the

student’s names written on them,

making it almost impossible to

return to the rightful owner.

Please make sure each jumper,

hat, etc has your child’s name so

we can return it to your child. If

we have clothing that has been

unclaimed for a while, we recycle

it, selling it to parents for a gold

coin donation.

Also, if there are parents who

have old uniforms in good

condition we would appreciate it

if you would donate it to school

so we can supply those children

who do not have uniforms.

Thank you for your support !

For students in Grades 2 to 6,

one of the most helpful skill to

learn and master is knowing the

TIMES TABLES. To help this

skill, practise counting by 2s, 3s,

4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s, 10s, 11s, and

12s. Discuss any patterns that

you discover or know about. Are

there any tricks or patterns to

assist in the learning?

Are the answers all odd or even

numbers? Get your child to write

the times tables down, starting

with the ones they know and

moving gradually to the more

difficult times tables. When they

do write each timetable down, get

them to write each one

completely before moving to the

next. Eg. 4 x 6 = 24. Play quizzes

and where possible make their

learning fun. Have them race

against their own time to write a

set of times table down. (eg.

Writing the 5 times tables down

from 0 x 5 = 0 to 12 x 5 = 60)

Mathletics has a few games to

play, so get your child involved !

Even sing the songs associated

with each times table.

Anything… that helps them to

learn their tables.

Mastering times

tables will help your

child tackle so many

different

mathematical

problems in the

future. Have Fun !!

School photos arrived this week

and were sent home by

Wednesday. Please check that

you received what you ordered,

and feel free to contact MSP

Photography.

I would be interested to get some

feedback about the SchoolMate

App that we informed parents

about in the last newsletter. If

you have downloaded the app

and had a look at it, please give

feedback via the text messaging

service that we contact you on

from time to time. I will send out

a text message seeking your

feedback. Respond using only

one word, either ‘Good,’

‘Interesting,’ ‘Confusing,’

or ‘Poor.’

Thank you !
