Intervention at St John's

Numeracy - Christine Buhler

Extending Mathematical Understanding - Intervention Support

As the term draws to the end, we are reviewing the growth and learning progress for the 27 students who have participated in EMU this term.

All students have demonstrated increasing confidence with mathematical learning.

They have been offered 8.5 hours of learning activities to meet their individual learning needs.

Most students will be exiting the program, and a new group will be offered places in the sessions. Parents will receive a personalised letter informing you of your child's success for Term 1 or a letter that your child will be entering the program for Term 2.

Mathemagicians

St John's Mathemagicians is an extension program for students deemed to be at least 1 year above their year level of schooling in at least one area of mathematics.  

This term 25 students have completed at least 1 session of extension activities. 

These ranged from Solving the problems from the book Maths Curse by John Scieszka and Lane Smith to puzzles and riddles including maths concepts.

Please note that a student might not always remain this far above the standard from one year to the next. This would impact their participation in the program from year to year.

MiniLit Sage - Literacy Intervention - Denise Hall

A select group of Year 2 and 3 children have participated in the MiniLit Sage intervention program during this term.

The children have had 4 x 45 minute sessions per week.

They have gained in confidence and many 'gaps' have been filled.

As the term comes to an end, the children will undertake testing to monitor their progress. The remaining lessons will reinforce new learnings and revise all concepts.

The MiniLit Sage program is a research-based reading intervention designed for young children who have some gaps in developing their literacy skills. It focuses on teaching the foundations of reading, including phonics, vocabulary, and fluency.

Thank you for your support at home with reading and revising 'tricky' words.
