Mrs Mizzi and myself will be sending a video message to the community.
Thank you for your ongoing support,
Stephen Dowd
Principal
A HUGE thank you for the support and enthusiasm you have given your children to approach Mathematics at home. This is evident by the questions students are asking, the contributions they are making via the grade specific online platform and the work they are submitting. We are so proud to see how numeracy at home has also allowed the children to explore practical everyday experiences. There are many opportunities in the home such as cooking, timing the length of a task i.e. making your bed, cleaning your teeth, boiling an egg or even folding a basket of washing, measuring length and even estimating the number of steps walked each day. The students have made wonderful progress while learning at home/ working remotely as they already have so many numeracy skills to build upon.
Please remember parents and carers have a valued role in their children’s learning, but they are not expected to replace the teacher. At times the support needed from yourself may be greater than others so we encourage your child to contact their teacher as required. Teachers provide many videos, links, posters/charts and examples which children are encouraged to access before, during and after their tasks.
Some helpful tips for parents and carers include:
• assist your child to establish routines and expectations
• define a space for your child to work in
• monitor communications from teachers
• begin and end each day with a check-in
• take an active role in helping your children process their learning
• physical activity and/or exercise
• check in with your child regularly to help them manage stress
• monitor how much time your child is spending online
• keep your children social, but set rules around their social media interactions.
At Mary Immaculate we subscribe to MATHLETICS. Children all have their individual logins and teachers may set tasks as part of the weekly learning focus. This tool is available at anytime activities can be accessed out of school hours.
There are many websites and apps available that children can use to consolidate number facts and concepts.
If you are interested in downloading Numeracy apps for devices at home, we have attached a list of apps to support Mathematics Learning of Students in the Early Years (K-2) and Middle Years (Years 3-8). Some are free while others have a small cost involved.
Thank you once again for your continued effort! We look forward to teaching the children in the classroom once again when it is safe for all!
