What a wonderful beginning to Term 3 we have had. We’re back
in the ‘swing of things’ and have been engaged in our learning and new units of
inquiry.
In Maths we have been learning about money and how to recognise,
name and count coins. No doubt you have heard about our new “Money System”,
whereby the students receive some plastic coins throughout the week as a class
reward system. They are awarded coins for working hard towards achieving their
learning goals, as well as exhibiting our learning dispositions, for things such
as collaboration, kindness, perseverance, making links, etc. We are also having
a focus on using our ‘noticing’ when it comes to our writing – making sure we
use our capital letters and full-stops in our sentences. Students will need to
pay the bank back a dollar if these are forgotten. So far it’s working
wonderfully, with lots of focus on and improvement in this area. We are also
able to practice counting and finding the totals. Coins can be swapped for
notes and change can be given.
