MOSAIC MURAL

Literacy and Numeracy Week

Last week was Literacy and Numeracy week. As a part of this the children at Lilydale Primary School participated in an Australian wide government initiative in mathematics called 'Reach for the Stars'. It involved the measurement of all childrens' and teachers' foot sizes and heights to determine if there was a relationship between the two. All children and teachers involved then created a human bar graph and continued with follow up activities in their classrooms to discuss the results.
