A Look at Learning

Mrs Matilda Hunt

Mathematics Improvement Project

Last week the Leadership Team attended Professional Development hosted by the CSO for the Mathematics Improvement Project. The Project began in 2020 and aims to raise student achievement in Mathematics through a whole system approach, based on high impact instruction and the gradual release of responsibility. Next year, all schools within the diocese will be a part of the Mathematics Improvement Project. We look forward to reinvigorating the learning and teaching of maths at St Mary of the Angels.

Global Citizens Project Update

The Year 6 Global Citizenship Ambassadors, Noah Brennan, Camilla Grills, Thomas Graham, and Mackenzie Ellem, have been hard at work lately, creating, establishing and putting our plan into action. It has taken 3 and a half terms but our project is almost complete. We have put our bins, education program and teachings into place and can't wait to see the next part of our plan unfold.

There are two things left to do:

1. Share our plan with our community and other areas using social media,

2. Introduce nude food lunch boxes to the students and parents in our school.

Next week your children will undertake a check in and education program about nude food lunch boxes. We kindly ask all parents to help us in this program and take part by sending nude lunches to school with your children. A nude food lunch box contains foods without any packaging at all. You could use containers to store food instead of using plastic wrapping. Bento boxes are a great place to start! There are some ideas are listed below:

Please help us in our and your program. We can't wait to see this program unfold over the next term and years to come.
