Week 2 - Term 4
Good afternoon Parents,
I hope that those of you that went to Family Camp had a great time and have hopefully caught up on all the washing!
I just have a few dates and important points to note:
Mathletics - each week students have tasks assigned for them to complete. These can be done in class or as additional homework. At times I will exclusively set Mathletics tasks for the week. Can you please check with your child to see if they have any outstanding tasks as I can only set 10 per child. As I have differentiated for what your particular child needs it is very important that your child completes the given tasks as I can not set new ones until they have done so.
I have set the minimum pass mark at 85% so if the task reappears again - please know that this is because additional revision is required.
Flipping Around Our Learning - last week during our Maths lessons we had a fantastic opportunity for the students to become the teacher! During our small group sessions we discuss and support each other to work out the answers and the students loved the chance to take control of 'Trusty Dusty' to help teach others and further advance their learning. I was very impressed with their efforts...I can see some excellent teachers in the making!
