School Party Day Our School party day is on Wednesday 11th December. Seven rides have been organised for the children to play on. This event is FREE and only for CURRENT students of our school. We know that some high schools will have finished their school year by then but high school students are not to be on our site during this time. One of the rides is the giant slide.

2019 School Fees Outstanding Invoices were sent home last week for voluntary contributions and school fees. School fees in this invoice are for the entire year and cover the cost of Mathletics, Reading Eggs (or Reading Express) and Origo maths. Voluntary contributions made by parents are important to our school as they allow us to purchase extra learning tools for our children. To all the families who have paid the $100 per year school fee, we appreciate your support in your child’s education.

Student Academic Reports Teachers are currently writing Semester 2 academic reports for all students. If you are a non-residential parent whose name appears on the enrolment form, you may request a copy of your child’s report if you have not yet arranged this with the office. Student reports go home on Monday 9th December.

Lost property We have an abundance of jumpers and other items in our lost property area between the Year 6T & 5M classrooms. Any items left at the end of term will be cleaned and used in our sick bay. Please put your child’s name on EVERYTHING. It makes it so much easier to return property to its owner.

Parent Helpers Thank you to our wonderful parent helpers. Please remember to sign in at the office when you arrive and depart the School. We appreciate the help and support you give the students who need assistance with their reading.

Growth Mindset Understand Numbers with Your Child Research tells us that in mathematics, higher achieving students have a stronger flexibility and understanding of the relationships between numbers. In classrooms, educators are working with students to build skills with understanding and connections, to help develop their sense of number as well as learning and remembering facts. This helps them when problem-solving. Think about knowing 4 + 7 = 11 simply as a memorized fact. Now think about knowing that 4 + 7 = 11 because it is a 3 + 7 and 1 more (linked to knowing that 10 is an important number). The understanding of this relationship can help a student to think flexibly about 64+27. In the same way, it can be thought about as 60 + 20 + the 10 (that was made by the understanding of 4+7) and 1 more = 91 As a parent, you can support your child in thinking flexibly about how numbers are related: What other numbers or facts is this connected to? Example: 6 + 7=? This is like the double I know of 6 + 6 and then 1 more. What do you know that might help you get there? Example: 7 x 4 =? I remember that 5 x 4 = 20, so then I have to add on two more 4’s, which is 8, to get 28. What is another way that you can know that? Example: 4 x 25 =?
