Well it's been a long time in between posts and there's been movement at the station π. With the school holidays upon us, it's a good time to sample this cool set of games designed to train your π‘ BRAINπ‘ in improving memory, attention, logical reasoning and maths just to name a few... suitable for children and adults... give it a go! I find it really fun and challenging. π

Looking forward to new challenges in imparting numeracy fundamentals ...thinking outside of the square.
Wishing all the Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 students well for their NAPLAN tests this week!
There are no short cuts in this game... like learning to play an instrument. The mastery comes from the practice: trying, stumbling and trying again. And then doing that again and again. π€ππ€
With three weeks to go before the national literacy and numeracy tests get underway for students in Years 3, 5, 7, & 9, you can try a short demonstration of each test on this website.

π‘Some food for thought for high schools considering adopting government-funded media awareness education. We're all for teenagers being taught how to be more discerning about news, and not to accept it all at face value. BUT if any news awareness program declares that any or most news on social media is fake, and that you can always confidently trust any mainstream news items (or only those that are published on "authorised" websites), then I would query the course provider's understanding of how the news media really works (as well as how funding sources may influence their programs).
Seeking community groups, clubs and businesses to receive some essential news media awareness education on Sydney's northern beaches. This is real talk about real life--the birds and the bees about the process and effects of news media. There are some things that you don't know that you don't know, and that are critical for you to know. This is one of them. Please watch and email [email protected] to get the ball rolling. π
