Congratulations

AALIYAH



At Friday's assembly Aaliyah was awarded a Principal's certificate for achievement in maths.

This week we completed the 'Halcombe School Basic Facts Test', with some students making significant improvement.

Students complete four tests, one for each domain (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). Each test is made up of 63 questions which they have four minutes to answer. Halcombe School's expectation is that by the end of year 6 students will gain 95% or above in each test.

Aaliyah is a year 4 student who achieved 100% in all four tests. Congratulations Aaliyah, your hard work has paid off.

Multiples of 3

While some of us have been learning our 3 x tables others have been learning about multiples of three.

Listen to Cara and Olivia explain how they know whether a number is a multiple of three.

Absolutely Amazing Art

Jane Lloyd Art Workshop

On Tuesday June 15th we all attended an art workshop run by Jane Lloyd. She taught us how to create cartoon faces.

We all enjoyed it and we were amazed at our artistic abilities. With Jane Lloyd, we were all artists. Thanks Jane.

We can also use the knowledge that we already have. We know our 2 x tables, so we can use that knowledge to answer our 3 x tables.
