I AM STATEMENTS

What a lovely way to begin the day by reading our positive I am statements on our steps to our learning spaces. Thankyou Ms Spicer.

LOOKING INTO LEARNING

During my learning walk today I discovered Year 5/6 engaging in Maths learning around measurement of angles. The students were able to apply their knowledge by looking at a soccer field and deciding which angle was going to give the players most chance of scoring a goal. 

Year 4/5 students were working on fluent computation through adding 24. Strategy used; add 10 then add 10 then add 4.

Kindergarten students were practising tricky words in literacy groups through a game of space bingo. Rilen and Austin had quick recall when identifying the tricky words. Well done!!

REPORTING SCHEDULE FOR SEMESTER 2

Teachers are now beginning to assess our students in Reading, Writing, Spelling and Maths through the PAT assessment schedule. Students are given the assessment every 12 months and progress is tracked from year to year.  Teachers in Years K- 2/3 have also assessed students reading via the DIBELs assessment this week. Preliminary results show students have made excellent progress in regard to word reading fluency and passage reading fluency.

Reports will be prepared for teachers over the coming weeks and parents will be able to access the reports via Compass from Friday December 3rd. As reports will contain students grades but no comments there will be an opportunity for every parent/carer to book in for a Parent Teacher Interview during Week 10 (6th December- 9th December). Parents/carers will be able to book in for interviews from 22/11/2021 via the School Interview link which will appear via Skoolbag App.
