Learning and Teaching

Thanks to all our PARENTS

You did a sensational job during this time of Remote Learning.

We so appreciate your partnership and look forward to working together with you.

LADDERS

A Maths dice game for the whole family!

Materials:

2 six sided dice

Paper

Pen or pencil

Instructions:

The aim of the game is for each player to write 2 digit numbers and order them correctly.

Instructions:

Each player draws a ladder with 6 rungs (7 spaces).
Players take turns to roll the dice and use the digits to make a 2-digit number. For example, Player 1 rolls 6 and 8. They can make 68 or 86.
Players write their chosen number in one of the spaces on their ladder.
Players continue to roll the dice and add numbers to their ladder, keeping a sequence of smallest to biggest (bottom to top)
The first player who fills their entire ladder is the winner.

You might like to discuss the following questions at the end of each game:

What strategy did you use when choosing numbers to put on the ladder?

How did you decide where to place your numbers?

What are you doing now that you weren’t doing the first time you played this game?

AL TAKES ACTION AT HOME

As part of their Action Team, AL was set the challenge to use their leadership skills and organise something for their family at home that would enable them to have fun and give them hope during this difficult time.

It was amazing to see all the different things that the students came up with!!! From making games, to playing games, to creating family letterboxes and playing with siblings, just to mention a few.

Well done AL and thanks for the photos you shared!!

SFS CROSS COUNTRY

Friday June 26th, 2020

The SFS Cross Country Fun Run is on Friday June 26th, 2020 and it will be held at school. Seniors will be involved from 9.15 – 10.45 and Juniors 11.30 – 12.30. The track will start behind LS2 and go along the side of the basketball courts, out the gate behind the playground, along the footpath, back in the gate near the playground, along the front of the school in the car park and then back through to the oval. Gates to the car park will be closed and there will be staff supervising along the track.

Foundation: Once around the track

Grade 1: Once around the track

Grade 2: Once around the track

9/10 year olds: Three times around the track

11 year olds: Four times around the track

12/13 year olds: Four times around the track

There will be separate races for boys and girls in each age or grade level. Students placing in the first ten will be awarded a ribbon and those who are first in each race will have their names engraved on the school trophies that are kept in our trophy cabinet.

Students will be required to wear their sports uniform as they will be running, but we hope that they will wear a t-shirt that is in their house colour and wear other accessories such as hats, scarves… in their house colour. They will also need to bring their drink bottle. Please also remember to update your child’s profile on Care Monkey and acknowledge you have done so on the Cross Country notification.

Teresa House - Blue

MacKillop House – Yellow

Bosco House – Red

Patrick House – Green

Unfortunately parents will not be able to attend this event but we will inform you about who wins each race and the winning House.

SCHOOL SPORTS VICTORIA

Unfortunately, due to the current situation, the winners of Cross Country will not be able to proceed to District, Divisional or Regional level.

However School Sports Victoria (SSV) who organises our Inter-school Sports events has developed a Virtual Cross Country that students from Foundation – Grade 6 can participate in. I have included the link below if you would like your child to participate. This might be a great way to practise for our Cross Country!!

We can’t wait for our Seniors to come back next week!!!
