Monday Memos Week 8 Term 1

Welcome to anew week of fun and frivolity in the Senior Unit. Well, not quite, how about we say another week of dotting the i and crossing the t. 

Mathletics - each student has a Mathletics account and it is a valuable program to assist and consolidate mathematical concepts and knowledge. We would love for students to get a minimum of 1000 points per week. Last week just gone we had 10 mathematical champions successfully do this. Well done to those 10. Students who do achieve that goal receive awards that we will post to their Seesaw accounts. 

Speaking of Seesaw accounts, if you are not familiar with the account and or have never signed in as a parent, come by and see us so that we can get this sorted.  The Seesaw account is an online portfolio of your students learning. It gives us the opportunity to share the learning online so you can view work products, reflections or other school related tasks from anywhere you have connectivity.
