Watch a Spelling Lesson in Action

In our last newsletter we provided some information on our current spelling program at Holy Cross. Our spelling program helps children to understand the relationship between sounds, word parts and spelling patterns and encourages them to become proficient writers.

Maths Professional Development

Over the past few weeks, our Holy Cross teachers and leaders have attended a Maths professional development day focused on the science of learning and its specific implications for teaching and learning Mathematics. Through worked examples, modelling and the regular reviewing of content over time, children are more likely to experience success in mathematics. Our staff left the professional development session feeling empowered and ready to implement some of the new knowledge in their classrooms.
