Mathsbuddy

The students at St Mary's school in years 4-8 have access to a maths site called Mathsbuddy.

Each student in room 4 has been given a username and password.
We have free access to this site until the end of the year.

I would strongly recommend students take advantage of this opportunity.

Here is some information about Mathsbuddy from their website:

Benefits of Maths Buddy 

Gives student the freedom to study without stress, at home, in their own time, at
their own pace.
Students can catch up on lessons they missed or concepts they have not fully
understood.
Because maths concepts build upon each other, sometimes it's necessary for students

to go back and revise a particular concept before moving on to a new topic, 

this can be done as every student has access to the entire Year 1 to 13 program curriculum.
Students can preview lessons at home before they take them at school.
Students can gain understanding and confidence especially in areas where they 

struggled previously.
Students can complete the worksheets and interactive questions to test their understanding. 

All of their results are recorded so that their progress can easily be seen.

Take the time to explore the resource yourself

We recommend that all parents take the time to explore the site, and familiarise
themselves with the student/tutorial interface by trying our free lessons.
This may well be your best spent 30 minutes in support of your child’s mathematics future.

Heart and Lungs, and Hockey!

The Juniors are learning about the human body this term.  They were fortunate to hive a close look at some hearts and lungs from sheep.  Room 4 went along to have a look also.

We also had a hockey training session with Matthew.
