Holiday Reading Holidays are a great time to share reading with your children. Often there are opportunities to read with uncles, aunties and grandparents as well as incidental moments.

Sub School News

R-6 Corner: Big Ideas in Number It was great to see many families attend the recent Year 3-6 Maths Morning. Students showcased games and activities they are using to be powerful mathematical learners during the 50 minute lesson. Games allow students the opportunity to practise maths concepts repeatedly in a safe and productive way. Staff maths learning this year has included the Big Ideas in Number. These are the key ideas, that if solidly and flexibly understood, students automatically use in a variety of situations. The following table summarises these principles and the year level expectation for their understandings. Some sound quite simple, for example ‘trusting’ a number - that eight elephants is the same as eight cars of different shapes and sizes and is the same as eight different items such as an apple, banana, mandarin, pear, carrot, pea, paperclip and pen. Associated with this is understanding the different ways to make a number, for example, six can be 6 x 1, 3 x 2, 4 + 2, and 5 + 1. It’s a fascinating area to explore and we can see when we attend to building these big ideas in a variety of ways with time to experiment and embed the understanding, what a difference this makes to students’ mathematical confidence, reasoning, fluency and problem-solving proficiencies. Please talk with your child’s teacher if you would like to know more about this.

Cheers

Debbie Terrett Head of R-6 KMS Deputy Principal

After waiting for over half an hour from arrival we got to go on the trampolines. The first hour was a circuit where we learnt new skills, played around with the laws of conservation of energy and momentum and experimented with projectile motion by becoming projectiles. We also had some friendly competition playing dodgeball. For the remaining hour a majority of the class were doing tricks into the foam pit and racing each other on the trampolines. All in all, it was a good day and we learnt that bouncing on a trampoline

Year 6 Illawonga Camp

Miss van den Berg’s and Mr Nicholl’s Year 6 Camp On Monday 12 September Mr Nicholls’ and Miss van den Berg’s classes went to Illawonga Camp at Swan Reach. It was an early start and we left school at 8.45am and we were all very excited to go on camp. The bus ride took longer than we thought and we had a quick recess break at Freeling. On the bus ride we enjoyed watching ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ and ‘Toy Story’. When we got to Illawonga it was great to be greeted by the camp’s two dogs Buddy and Misty.

First we went inside and talked about what we were going to do and the camp rules. Afterwards we put our bags in the dorms and we had some yummy lunch. Our first activity was yabbying and learning about the almond trees. We had a great time learning about the yabbies and we even got to go to the dam to catch them!

Day two we got out of bed just after 7am and while the duty group set up for breakfast we got to play. We had a fantastic breakfast and prepared ourselves for the day’s activities. We split into two groups and went on a Safari Ride and a tour of the Murray River by boat. We were able to do a scavenger hunt and look for wombats and other native animals on the safari ride, while we learnt about the irrigation systems and the native artefacts on the boat. The best part was playing in the massive gym upstairs and having a go at archery when we got back.

The last day went very quickly where we packed our bags and ate brekkie in the morning. We got to go caving and have one last play in the gym before returning home, but before we knew it, we had to pack up and get on the bus.

We all had an amazing time at camp and we would go back if we could!
