Pupil Free Day Reminder and Welcome Back…….

Dear Readers,

We hope you have enjoyed the break from school routines and your children are recharged ready for another busy term ahead. A little info relating to the week ahead….

Student Free Day: A reminder that the first day of term 2 is Tuesday 2nd May. Monday is a student free day; teachers will be at the school involved in a Professional Development Program.

Odd Socks: If you have an odd spare sock at home please send it along with your child during the first week back to school. The children have opportunities to communicate their learning in a variety of ways (other than just pencil in their books). One of their favourite ways is using individual mini whiteboards and markers. Socks are used as an eraser for the whiteboards and also a handy way to store individual markers.

Maths challenges: Some of you have asked about home maths challenges for the students. One starting point is the resource Nrich (nrich.maths.org). This website is full of puzzles and challenges that encourage children’s mathematical engagement and thinking in a wide range of ways. If you do explore Nrich at home, we would love to hear any feedback about what your child liked about it (or didn’t like, if that’s the case). We hope you enjoy it.

Rachel Absent: Rachel will be attending a Mathematics Conference on Thursday and Friday (4th & 5th May). We are fortunate to have Dawn Drewer to continue with room 24’s learning program on these days.

We look forward to a wonderful term of learning ahead!

Kind regards,

Rachel and Michelle
