I was off ill today but missed all of my amazing kiddies so much! I was in contact with the teachers who covered for me and I heard on numerous occasions how well behaved they were! I am so proud of them!
In math today the students learned about relating fractions to probability and how we can use our knowledge of fractions to explain the chances of an event happening. Here is an example:
This is a bag of marbles. If I wanted to explain the probability of pulling out a blue marble I would say that I have a 5/12 chance (or 5 in 12 chance) of pulling out a blue marble. If I wanted to explain the probability of pulling out a green marble I would say I have a 1/12 (a 1 in 12 chance) of pulling out a green marble. There is a higher probability of me pulling out a blue marble versus a green marble.
In language students were provided with time to work on our Arts Night performance. I have emailed some pictures for reference for costumes. I have also attached some below:

- Black or white plain t-shirt
- Coloured Scarf to match skirt
- Black shoes (school shoes will be fine!)
