‘Learning Talk’

Every two weeks we will be asking families to participate in ‘Learning Talks’ with their children.

By discussing topics and ideas prior to learning, you will help your children get ahead in their personal learning. Students will follow up in class with activities that are related to their ‘Learning Talks’.

Foundation

In Numeracy, students will be focussing on revising the num-bers 0 - 20. We encourage students to find and name num-bers around their home and practice counting objects. Also have a go at skip counting by 2s and 5s as we will be intro-ducing this new concept in our future lessons.

Junior

In Numeracy, students will be learning about telling the time using digital and analogue clocks. To support your child could you please talk about the features of clocks and play games estimating short periods of time. Key words are sec-onds, minutes, hours, o'clock and half past. Ask children questions, What time do you….?

Middle

In Numeracy, the middle students will be learning about angles. Students will be focusing on:

If an angle is greater or less than a right angle

Comparing angles in everyday situations

Recognising that analogue clocks use the turning of hands to indicate time, and comparing the size of angles between the hands for familiar times

Discuss with your child what the word angle refers to. Look

for angles around the house and outside.

Senior

In Numeracy, students will be looking at transformations. To support your child

Discuss the term symmetrical and have a look at sym-metrical patterns

Talk about the different forms of transformations trans-lations, rotations and reflections

Look at tessellations and discuss how they have been formed by rotating shapes

Procedural Writing

All students will be learning how to write procedures.

Using procedural writing helps you accomplish a goal; it gives instructions for completing both common and complex goals.

Persistence Responsibility Individuality Discipline Enthusiasm

On Monday 4th June, our school leaders participated in a fantastic

leadership day at CYC Adventure Resort at Phillip Island. The day was facilitated by our friends from

C.H.I.P.S. who do some wonderful work for our local communities.

The focus of the day was on leadership and the students learnt some valuable skills on being effective leaders.

They also had some fun on the Giant Swing and the Skills Course as you can see from the photos.

I would like to thank the parents of the student leaders for making the commitment to bring their children to

school by 8.00am so we could make the most of the day.

On Friday the 27th July, Cranbourne Primary School will hold a Multicultural Day –

celebrating the many different cultures of our students. This day will include African

Drumming Workshops for the whole school as well as culturally based workshops.

We are seeking parent volunteers who would like to run a session based on their culture

(you will be supported by teachers). This could be: art, cooking, dancing, dress, music or

sport to name a few.

If you are interested in participating, please contact your child’s Home Group Teacher or

fill in the slip below.

Upon arrival students should be escorted to the Breakfast Club by a parent or older

sibling. Breakfast Club is located at the oval end of the BER Building. Miss Collier

and Ms Martin are the supervising adults for the Breakfast Club.
