(advance notice) Dear Families, Holidays: All have returned from the first term holidays refreshed and ready for another big term. This term will have a number of highlights and dates to remember including: Years 3 and 5 undertaking the annual NAPLAN Assessments (May 12-14) Our school athletics day - (May 5) Report Writing Day - (May 21) Reports and 3-way interviews - (June 24) School photos - (June 1) Year 5 Camp, Maldon – (April 29-May 1) Food Fair: With only one week before the end of term I did not have a lot of opportunities to congratulate all on a wonderful Fair. It was a terrific community event. Personally, it was great to catch up with many past students and families all enjoying being back at school. The strength of any school is multi-pronged but the support and involvement of parents in their child's education is a great benefit - mostly to our children. Parents who are involved know more about what is happening, can share experiences with their children and the children want parents involved! The financial benefit, $48,500, is terrific but the pride in being able to operate an event of this magnitude is a great reflection of our school and it's community. Kids Raffle result: Congratulations to the following children who were the excited winners of the Kids Raffle drawn at the assembly on the last day of term 1. Greta Thiele 5ML Stella Rose 2JS Chloe Philip 0JS Winner of the Easter Egg raffle was Kim Hamilton. Easter Eggs: I realise this occurred last term, but I just wish to again highlight the positive effect the Easter Eggs have of our senior citizens. We read some responses from the recipients at assembly but I want to again thank families for their generosity and thoughtfulness. I received many cards addressed to the school and individual students, all expressing many thanks. Hats: In line with the Anti-Cancer recommendation we will be asking all children to wear their broad rimmed Chilwell hats until the end of April. We live in a great country but the effects of the sun’s rays dictate we all take care during our time in the sun. Mothers’ Day: All in the family are aware that this important day is fast approaching. Now what to give Mum for all those years of support? AN ENTERTAINMENT BOOK of course. The 2015-2016 Entertainment Book has just been launched and is for sale for $55.00 through the office from next Monday.

Name ________________________________________ Ph.________________ Dates NOT available _____________________________________________ Numeracy Information…. What is Numeration – an understanding of number concepts, specifically those understandings and skills needed to model, name, write, read, interpret and use. The Di Siemon Professional Development day reinforced the need for children to use the skill of subitisng to help develop numeration. Subitising is being able to recognise groups of collections without counting and incorporates part/part/whole relationships. ie. 3 and 3 and 2 is 8 At each year level children are practising subitising by: Grade Prep: We are using flash cards to practise subitising. The children say the number of dots they see then discuss strategies of ‘how they knew’. Grade One: Grade one is practising subitising with dots up to 12. The children are shown a variety of cards with number dots on them very quickly – one/two seconds for each cards. The children are expected to say the numbers/dots they see on each card. We want the children to articulate the strategy they used, ie. 12 is ten and two more, 6 is double three. Discussing strategies used in Numeracy is a very important skill which children need to develop. Grade Two: We are learning to ‘chunk’ information and seeing parts in the whole. A strategy we are practicing is to look at the dot pattern for five (for example) and be aware that this can be seen as four and one, or three and two. We are also using domino patterns to capture this idea of subitising. Students are learning to see each side of the domino as individual dots and then both sides as "one group". Using dominoes is a fun and easy way to practise subitising at home! Grade Three/Four: The children in Grades 3 and 4 use dot dice in many of their warm up games and activities. Being able to quickly visualise and add groups of dots together reinforces strategies in working with numbers. An example of a warm up game being played in year 4 at the moment is Around the World. Two children roll a dot dice each, they need to add the dot dice together and then come up with the double. The learning focus is about doubling numbers but it also reinforces the ability to subitise and quickly add numbers together. Card games also play an important part in developing these subitising skills. Grade Five: Grade 5 and 6: will be using subitising as a part of our warm up to get students visualizing and thinking about number. This will happen as a part of our warm up to LAF (Learning & Assessment Framework) groups that are beginning in term 2. The LAF groups will help students develop their ‘multiplicative thinking’ and will strengthen their ability to problem solve effectively using a range of strategies. Grade Six: The grade 6 students are subitising 3, 4 or more number and dot cards that are require very quick response times using the team board. We are using dice from the “Nelson learning objects” on the team board to play a variety of games requiring mental calculations on numbers. These numbers could be fractions, decimals or whole numbers. Students have been given a “short cuts” help sheet which explains a variety of strategies that will assist mental calculations like doubling, halving, multiplying by 4 and 8, multiplying by 10 , 100 and 1000. Each day students will be engaged in quick mental arithmetic games that will reinforce these skills School House Athletics - Parent Helpers Desperately Needed. (Return to office A.S.A.P.)
