Maths
​
Maths is one of my favourite subjects. I love coming up with ideas that help children make connections between maths learning and their daily life. I have taught Maths through Rich Task and Real Life Maths activities. It was great to see the children come up with different and creative ideas for solving maths problems. I focused on creating an environment that encourages children to actively engage in and voice their ideas of solving problems.
Literacy
Literacy is the foundation of all learning. I have implemented the Daily Five and the CAFE reading programs that improved the children's reading stamina and comprehension strategies. I particularly found great satisfaction in teaching Literacy to children of non-English speaking countries.
Science
I have a passion for Science and love the excitement it provides children. I have led weekly Science programs during Passion time for Year 2/3 children for the last two and a half years. I also had the opportunity of teaching some of the ALL program to Year 4/5 children, which I enjoyed very much. It is an exciting subject especially when learning is integrated with other curricula such as Writing, Reading, Maths and the Arts.
