Year 1\u20146 Daily Team Challenges<\/h3>\n

Each day after morning play, the students will be organised into mixed Year 1-3 & 4-6 \u00a0teams.\u00a0 The teams will work together and compete against each other to solve practical Maths-based problems.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Homework<\/h3>\n

Homework in Year 1-6 will take on a new slant this week with class teachers setting Maths theme related challenges that will include opportunities for families to work together. Alongside this, a specific age-appropriate Maths task will be set that will focus on developing the rapid recall of number bonds, times tables, counting on or back in 2s, 5s, 10s, etc.<\/p>\n

Showcases<\/h3>\n

Early Years – Year 1 Open House – Wednesday 5th March, between 8:45 and 9:15am<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Early Years curriculum and activities help develop children\u2019s initial building blocks for mathematical thinking, reasoning and problem solving. Building strong foundations are important to children\u2019s later success in Mathematics.\u00a0 Our Toddler, Preschool, Junior Kindergarten, Kindergarten and Year 1 classes will be having an \u2018Open House\u2019 morning on Wednesday 5th March, between 8:45 and 9:15am.\u00a0 During this time, parents and visitors are welcome to see a glimpse of the range of mathematical experiences we offer in our early years classes.<\/p>\n

Year 2 – 6 Maths Calculation Showcase – Friday 7th March between 2:15 – 2:55pm<\/span><\/p>\n

On Friday 7th March, parents and visitors are invited between 2:15 – 2:55pm to experience Maths learning higher up in the school.\u00a0 Each class will be setting up \u2018Maths Stations’ which will demonstrate how students calculate and approach various areas of the Maths curriculum. Students will lead activities for parents to participate in and have the opportunity to speak about and explain their learning.\u00a0 We hope the Showcase will be a good opportunity to visit each class and discover the phenomenal knowledge and understanding that takes place in a child\u2019s mathematical learning during these mere 5 years through Years 2 to 6.<\/p>\n
