Care for Learning

It has been great seeing students reinforce and apply their mathematical understandings within problem solving situations this week. Our Year 4 students have been working collaboratively to deepen their understanding. In Year 4, we teach students a range of strategies to solve problems as it supports their conceptual understanding of multiplication, from using less formal strategies such as skip counting and split strategy to more formal strategies such as the written algorithm. It was fantastic to observe students working with their peers and using a range of resources as they practised some of the strategies that they were less familiar with. 

Swimming Carnival

The swimming carnival is next week! Students born in 2015 will attend the carnival on Friday and students born in 2014 will attend on Thursday. Parents are more than welcome to come along and cheer on their children. All students are encouraged to attend and participate, with a range of options for swimmers of all abilities.
