Symphony Maths

 

This is a new adaptive learning program that we have introduced in our school. I took part in a training session on Zoom to learn about the features of this program. This program is now a permanent part of our maths lessons and challenges all my learners at their own levels. What I really like about this program is the option to hear the questions as you read them. This is an invaluable tool for those learners who struggle with reading the instructions. 

This is now up and running in Years 4 to 8 in our school.

First Aid PD

Safety in the workplace is extremely important so knowing how to keep our students safe is an important for teachers. This week our staff updated their first aid qualifications together over two afternoons. Our four hour training course was run by Bronwyn from Actions for Survival, and was both really informative and really interesting.
