How to Talk About Mathematics
March 6th, 9.00am Library with Justin Rich
How does the way we talk about mathematics influence our thinking? How should we talk about mathematics in order to best encourage learners? How can you talk to your children at home about mathematics so they see the real-world value of study? Come along and lets discuss!
Class Exhibitions
We would like to introduce to you our class exhibitions. Each grade will take turns to showcase the work they have been doing in one of their units of inquiry. Please come along and enjoy our presentations, and see individual class blogs for more information.
Book and Culture Week 2019
11th - 15th of March
We want your old books!
We are organising a book swap during our Book and Culture Week. We would like all the students to bring between 1 and 5 books for the book swap. Please make sure books are -
- In good condition
- Appropriate for that student's own age group (so if the student is in 4th grade, he/she should bring a book which a 4th grader could enjoy)
Each student please bring his/her books to school in a paper or plastic bag. The bag should be clearly labelled with his/her name, grade, teacher's name, and number of books brought. The KG teachers will prepare a basket near the entrance of Kindergarten where students can drop off their books (still inside the bag). The deadline for bringing books to swap is Thursday, March 7th.
Additional book donations (if more than 5) are welcome, but these should be brought in a separate bag labelled "donation" and won't count towards a student's book swap totals (parents should make their children aware of this beforehand).
Bookmark Design Competition
Students are invited to design a bookmark based on our theme this year - "One World, Many Stories". Competition forms with a template are available at the school foyer and library. On this template, students can design their bookmarks. Students are reminded to
- Use colour pencils or markers for their design
- Refrain from using stickers, stamps or other decorations on their design
- Include their name
Designs need to be submitted by Friday, 8 March.
Entries can be dropped into boxes available in the library and school foyer. Winners will be announced on Friday, 15th March. The winning entries will be printed and distributed in the library and classrooms.
