Students from Years 11 and 12 will not have formal classes for the first 5 weeks as the HSC exams are being held Students are encouraged to make appointments with their teachers to assist with their last minute preparation during these 5 weeks as we want to provide as much support as possible at this challenging time In the mail this week parents of students in years 3 5 7 and 9 will receive a copy of the NAPLAN (National Assessment Program Literacy amp Numeracy) results This is a snapshot of where your child performed in the exams that were conducted in May this year Please use this information to compare to earlier NAPLAN tests and discuss your childrsquos progress with them In other news I wish to announce and congratulate our new Principal Mr George Frangos He will start his leadership at Bulahdelah Central School in Week 2 Term 4 As a final note I wish everyone a safe and happy well deserved holiday Deb Gilbert

Rachel Billinghurstrsquos

talent as a realistic drawer was exemplified in her creations for her Body of Work in which she illustrated insects and plant-life She chose this subject matter as she remembered from her childhood her fascination with nature One image was inspired by a photograph of herself as a child

Madison Hurtado

planned and executed a Body of Work which reflected her love of Japanese art and culture In this work she demonstrated her ability in a number of art forms which included design etching drawing and painting Madison referenced a number of Japanese artists in her art and tied all her visual interpretations together by adding origami to the kimono

HSC MAJOR WORKS

11

Lillian Lee created some excellent art

works The distorted forms and bright colours inspired her to produce four large paintings with conceptual strength

In her Body of Work Kya Morrison created a

large painting of her family which was quite successful and executed in a highly symbolic manner In the planning stages she researched imagery that was stylised and thoroughly practised her representations to ensure that she added personal meaning to her work Kyas painting referenced the work of artists and demonstrated her fine drawing skills

Sue Cross - Art Teacher

For her Body of Work Amy

McKeough chose her

favourite sport as her topic and she created three artworks She demonstrated a wide variety of art techniques including painting ceramics and etching Amy was also inspired by Aboriginal artists and this was referenced in all three artworks

A group of 18 Year 8 and 9 students attended an overnight excursion sponsored by UNE (University of New England) and Google Last Wednesday we travelled to Armidale and did a tour of UNE and Austin College where we stayed Students experienced staying in standard university residential rooms and had dinner and breakfast at Austin College In the evening they enjoyed a couple of games of ten pin bowling and roller skating finishing with supper at McDonalds On Thursday we travelled to the TREC (Tamworth Regional Entertainment Centre) in Tamworth where we attended a careers expo based on all UNE have to offer The keynote presentation by Jaime Casap Chief Education Evangelist from Google all the way from Phoenix Arizona USA on The Future of Work was amazing Key messages from Jaimes presentation were Lifelong learning is the key - there is no end point

to learning Education disrupts poverty There is a worldwide shortage of computer

scientists Digitalisation is impacting every job

Gen Z is the first digitalised generation 65 of future jobs do not exist yet Gen Z will have 17 jobs in 5 career areas Questions we should be asking kids today is NOT

what do you want to be when you grow uprsquo rather lsquowhat problem do you want to solve

People need to start thinking about what skills they need to learn to answer this question

Collaboration is how problems are solved All students were outstanding representatives of Bulahdelah Central School and I would like to congratulate them on their conduct during this activity I would also like to thank Mr Gladys who drove the school bus so we could participate in this opportunity Linda Drenkhahn - Careers Advisor

Parents in Mathematics Are Important Last week I had the pleasure of adjudicating the primary debate against Bungwahl Public School The topic was ldquoWe learn more from our parents than our teachersrdquo Whilst on this occasion the negative team won with their argument as parents you must never underestimate yourselves as joint educators of your children When we work together we can ldquoachieve great things for our great kidsrdquo As the holidays approach promoting a sense of relevance and interest in mathematical learning can be a key contributor to a childrsquos future success in this area Here are some ideas for developing mathematical thinking which you can enjoy together

Out amp About If going out of town to shop or visit relatives and friends you can give your child a map to work out together how many kilometres you will travel This is an easy way to practise computation skills and develops an interest in map reading Another calculation might be how far you can travel on one tank of fuel then finding a place on the map to stop and fill up Older kids can be in charge of planning overnight stops after working out how far you can travel in one day Challenge them by adding extra information eg If the speed limit is 100km what is the latest time we can leave to arrive by 4pm This encourages them to think about the question and plan a method for finding a solution

In the Garden Children love getting dirty and playing in the garden You can harness this enthusiasm and develop math skills at the same time Spatial awareness is used when adding plants to the garden Estimating the positions so the plants are evenly spaced is something we all do - why not give this job to your child Kids with understandings of multiplication could use an array (rows and columns) to plan the positioning of carrots in the veggie patch With your supervision older kids can apply their knowledge of ratios when making liquid fertiliser - one part plant food to three parts water

In the Kitchen Getting the kids in the kitchen is a favourite holiday activity for many families The pride and enjoyment kids get from baking cookies or helping prepare the family meal are invaluable Mathematical knowledge and processes are a fundamental part of this experience Measuring quantities accurately is crucial if you want the cake to rise Actively discussing this with kids brings the importance of this math concept to life

Rachel Billinghurstrsquos

talent as a realistic drawer was exemplified in her creations for her Body of Work in which she illustrated insects and plant-life She chose this subject matter as she remembered from her childhood her fascination with nature One image was inspired by a photograph of herself as a child

Madison Hurtado

planned and executed a Body of Work which reflected her love of Japanese art and culture In this work she demonstrated her ability in a number of art forms which included design etching drawing and painting Madison referenced a number of Japanese artists in her art and tied all her visual interpretations together by adding origami to the kimono

HSC MAJOR WORKS

Lillian Lee created some excellent art

works The distorted forms and bright colours inspired her to produce four large paintings with conceptual strength

In her Body of Work Kya Morrison created a

large painting of her family which was quite successful and executed in a highly symbolic manner In the planning stages she researched imagery that was stylised and thoroughly practised her representations to ensure that she added personal meaning to her work Kyas painting referenced the work of artists and demonstrated her fine drawing skills

Sue Cross - Art Teacher

For her Body of Work Amy

McKeough chose her

favourite sport as her topic and she created three artworks She demonstrated a wide variety of art techniques including painting ceramics and etching Amy was also inspired by Aboriginal artists and this was referenced in all three artworks

A group of 18 Year 8 and 9 students attended an overnight excursion sponsored by UNE (University of New England) and Google Last Wednesday we travelled to Armidale and did a tour of UNE and Austin College where we stayed Students experienced staying in standard university residential rooms and had dinner and breakfast at Austin College In the evening they enjoyed a couple of games of ten pin bowling and roller skating finishing with supper at McDonalds On Thursday we travelled to the TREC (Tamworth Regional Entertainment Centre) in Tamworth where we attended a careers expo based on all UNE have to offer The keynote presentation by Jaime Casap Chief Education Evangelist from Google all the way from Phoenix Arizona USA on The Future of Work was amazing Key messages from Jaimes presentation were Lifelong learning is the key - there is no end point

to learning Education disrupts poverty There is a worldwide shortage of computer

scientists Digitalisation is impacting every job

Gen Z is the first digitalised generation 65 of future jobs do not exist yet Gen Z will have 17 jobs in 5 career areas Questions we should be asking kids today is NOT

what do you want to be when you grow uprsquo rather lsquowhat problem do you want to solve

People need to start thinking about what skills they need to learn to answer this question

Collaboration is how problems are solved All students were outstanding representatives of Bulahdelah Central School and I would like to congratulate them on their conduct during this activity I would also like to thank Mr Gladys who drove the school bus so we could participate in this opportunity Linda Drenkhahn - Careers Advisor

Parents in Mathematics Are Important Last week I had the pleasure of adjudicating the primary debate against Bungwahl Public School The topic was ldquoWe learn more from our parents than our teachersrdquo Whilst on this occasion the negative team won with their argument as parents you must never underestimate yourselves as joint educators of your children When we work together we can ldquoachieve great things for our great kidsrdquo As the holidays approach promoting a sense of relevance and interest in mathematical learning can be a key contributor to a childrsquos future success in this area Here are some ideas for developing mathematical thinking which you can enjoy together

Out amp About If going out of town to shop or visit relatives and friends you can give your child a map to work out together how many kilometres you will travel This is an easy way to practise computation skills and develops an interest in map reading Another calculation might be how far you can travel on one tank of fuel then finding a place on the map to stop and fill up Older kids can be in charge of planning overnight stops after working out how far you can travel in one day Challenge them by adding extra information eg If the speed limit is 100km what is the latest time we can leave to arrive by 4pm This encourages them to think about the question and plan a method for finding a solution

In the Garden Children love getting dirty and playing in the garden You can harness this enthusiasm and develop math skills at the same time Spatial awareness is used when adding plants to the garden Estimating the positions so the plants are evenly spaced is something we all do - why not give this job to your child Kids with understandings of multiplication could use an array (rows and columns) to plan the positioning of carrots in the veggie patch With your supervision older kids can apply their knowledge of ratios when making liquid fertiliser - one part plant food to three parts water

In the Kitchen Getting the kids in the kitchen is a favourite holiday activity for many families The pride and enjoyment kids get from baking cookies or helping prepare the family meal are invaluable Mathematical knowledge and processes are a fundamental part of this experience Measuring quantities accurately is crucial if you want the cake to rise Actively discussing this with kids brings the importance of this math concept to life

Out amp About If going out of town to shop or visit relatives and friends you can give your child a map to work out together how many kilometres you will travel This is an easy way to practise computation skills and develops an interest in map reading Another calculation might be how far you can travel on one tank of fuel then finding a place on the map to stop and fill up Older kids can be in charge of planning overnight stops after working out how far you can travel in one day Challenge them by adding extra information eg If the speed limit is 100km what is the latest time we can leave to arrive by 4pm This encourages them to think about the question and plan a method for finding a solution

In the Garden Children love getting dirty and playing in the garden You can harness this enthusiasm and develop math skills at the same time Spatial awareness is used when adding plants to the garden Estimating the positions so the plants are evenly spaced is something we all do - why not give this job to your child Kids with understandings of multiplication could use an array (rows and columns) to plan the positioning of carrots in the veggie patch With your supervision older kids can apply their knowledge of ratios when making liquid fertiliser - one part plant food to three parts water

In the Kitchen Getting the kids in the kitchen is a favourite holiday activity for many families The pride and enjoyment kids get from baking cookies or helping prepare the family meal are invaluable Mathematical knowledge and processes are a fundamental part of this experience Measuring quantities accurately is crucial if you want the cake to rise Actively discussing this with kids brings the importance of this math concept to life

Lillian Lee created some excellent art

works The distorted forms and bright colours inspired her to produce four large paintings with conceptual strength

In her Body of Work Kya Morrison created a

large painting of her family which was quite successful and executed in a highly symbolic manner In the planning stages she researched imagery that was stylised and thoroughly practised her representations to ensure that she added personal meaning to her work Kyas painting referenced the work of artists and demonstrated her fine drawing skills

Sue Cross - Art Teacher

For her Body of Work Amy

McKeough chose her

favourite sport as her topic and she created three artworks She demonstrated a wide variety of art techniques including painting ceramics and etching Amy was also inspired by Aboriginal artists and this was referenced in all three artworks

A group of 18 Year 8 and 9 students attended an overnight excursion sponsored by UNE (University of New England) and Google Last Wednesday we travelled to Armidale and did a tour of UNE and Austin College where we stayed Students experienced staying in standard university residential rooms and had dinner and breakfast at Austin College In the evening they enjoyed a couple of games of ten pin bowling and roller skating finishing with supper at McDonalds On Thursday we travelled to the TREC (Tamworth Regional Entertainment Centre) in Tamworth where we attended a careers expo based on all UNE have to offer The keynote presentation by Jaime Casap Chief Education Evangelist from Google all the way from Phoenix Arizona USA on The Future of Work was amazing Key messages from Jaimes presentation were Lifelong learning is the key - there is no end point

to learning Education disrupts poverty There is a worldwide shortage of computer

scientists Digitalisation is impacting every job

Gen Z is the first digitalised generation 65 of future jobs do not exist yet Gen Z will have 17 jobs in 5 career areas Questions we should be asking kids today is NOT

what do you want to be when you grow uprsquo rather lsquowhat problem do you want to solve

People need to start thinking about what skills they need to learn to answer this question

Develop curiosity by presenting problem-solving opportunities We need 1 cup of sugar but we have only these frac14 and ⅓ cups to measure with What can we do Then ask again Great idea What else could we do Knowing that there is often more than one way to solve a problem provides security for those who think in different ways Using scales to weigh ingredients reinforces the skill of reading these numbers and draws on the knowledge of decimals Calculating when the food will be ready uses knowledge of time but also encourages basic number strategies like counting by 5s to be practised The recipe says lsquochill for 30 minutesrsquo Itrsquos 1150am now when will it be ready Fractional concepts are developed when cutting the cake into equal parts Every child wants their fair share of that chocolate cake At the Shops

When yoursquore out at the shops there are plenty of ways to get kids thinking about and exploring maths Simple counting exercises with young kids are a great way to reinforce early number concepts like number sequences 1 2 3 4 5 there are 5 apples in the bag Another number concept easily practised at the shops is comparison do we have more apples or oranges As parents we often choose the item that represents better value by comparing the lsquoprice per 100 gramrsquo - verbalising your thinking helps kids to refine their own mental processes Budgeting adding monetary values and calculating change are all skills that benefit from practice in a real-life situation Giving older kids $10 and a small shopping list develops these skills as well as fostering a sense of independence The post-Christmas sales give kids some purposeful reasons to apply knowledge of percentages if only to convince you that new toy is a real bargain Parents can easily use every day experiences to reinforce and develop mathematical skills and support their kidrsquos learning of this important subject area Showing how maths is used in daily tasks provides the perfect balance for the formal learning of the classroom Mathematics is an area where both teachers and parents input is necessary Debbie Booth
