Ready Set Go Maths is a hands-on approach to learning mathematical concepts in Junior and Senior Infants. It is designed to enable children to develop and consolidate their understanding of numbers through activities and interactive games.
In Scoil Mhuire we have implemented this programme in Junior Infants. The Key message behind the programme is that children are engaged in active learning and there is an emphasis on the use of language to explain our mathematical thinking, what we are doing and why we are doing it. Ready, Set, Go Maths focuses on 4 main areas:
Sorting
Relationships and Operations
Counting and Recognition
Understanding Numbers.
Classroom teachers and special education teachers, work with the pupils in the class in smaller groups. Children work on three activity stations and one book work station each day spending 6 minutes at each station before rotating to the next station. Activities generally involve working with concrete materials and playing games.
The parents’ association has been recently reactivated and we are writing to introduce ourselves and extend a warm invitation to get involved. So far we have Elaine Newell (Chairperson), Anna Parkinson (Secretary), Aisling Gormally (Treasurer), Audrey Trigg, Angela O’Toole, Loretta Croke, Kim Ryan, Michelle O’Connor, Olivia Traynor, Sinéad Valla, Gillian Hunter and Petrina Mulligan.
Ideally we would have a parent from each class involved so that the views and opinions of all are represented.
The good news is that all committee positions have been filled so you can come to the next parents’ association meeting without fear of getting a job! Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, 6th March at 8pm at school (first prefab on the left). This meeting is open to everyone to attend.
We are currently compiling a list of ideas for how the Parents’ Association could best work to promote the interests of students (and also help parents) in Scoil Mhuire, e.g. fundraising events, talks, social events, volunteering at school occasions, fundraising for extracurricular activities. We would love to hear your thoughts and opinions, please email any ideas to pa.secretary@moycns.ie
