Assistant Principalrsquos Communication
Dear Parents and Carers
As Salaamu Alaikum WrWb
We are all experiencing the profound effects the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is
having on every aspect of our lives Our thoughts are with those across Queensland and
Australia who have a loved one with the virus and those families whose livelihoods have
been dramatically impacted by this global health crisis
ICB is open only for vulnerable students and children of essential workers from
the beginning of Term 2 The rest of the student population are to learn at home for the
first five weeks of the term The move to a home-based online learning model started
on Monday April 20 and will continue until at least Friday May 22 2020 when it would
be reviewed by the government
Online Learning
Following the Premierrsquos announcement on Monday 13th April ICB has been working very hard to prepare online learning resources for students who will be staying at home What we have tried to achieve is a system that offers an excellent alternative pathway for students and families to learn throughout this period of isolation and social distancing necessary for combating COVID-19 Virtual learning particularly using the platforms of See-Saw and Teams will allow all our students to connect collaborate interact learn and create These platforms are safe and only authorised users will have access You can help your children at home by Following the help guides on our websites to understand the platforms the students are using Being cybersafe Keep checking in on what your children are learning and stay in the same room with your children while they are using their devices It is important we recognise that your main job as a parent is to be the parent not an educator The current climate prohibits teachers from doing their job face to face but hopefully the development of this online resource means that the education its philosophy and tailoring towards the needs of each child is still done by the teachers and parents can assist with maintaining a routine and look after their wellbeing so that our students donrsquot miss out on their essential learning Thank you to our whole learning community for all of your wonderful support at this time Sincere thanks to our thoroughly amazing hardworking and devoted staff who have enthusiastically agreed to the changes This is because they care about your children and they understand the importance of education and our need to keep everyone safe

discuss billboards and other advertising that you see What images and language do the ads use to make people want to buy the product How could you make the ad more persuasive How could you make it more factual
discuss signs that use pictures or symbols rather than words Are the picturessigns clear Can they be quickly understood by everyone How could you improve them
discuss announcements that you hear especially pre-recorded ones (eg on public transport) Is the announce-ment easy to hear Is the language simple and clear Would anyone have trouble understanding the announcement Is the content useful How could you make the announcement more effective
practise map reading skills ndash eg find a particular shop on the shopping centre map find your stop on a public transport map or find the building you want on a map of the school What is the best way to get there
look around for tessellations (patterns with repeating geometric shapes that fit together without any gaps or over-laps) ndash eg in tiles paving brickwork or fabric patterns
discuss the weather How does it feel What was the forecast How accurate was it When is the temperature likely to reach the forecast minimum How about the forecast maximum

Keep your eyes peeled
Spotting learning opportunities when you are out and about
There are lots of great ways your child can practise literacy and numeracy skills when you go out together Here are a few ideas
discuss billboards and other advertising that you see What images and language do the ads use to make people want to buy the product How could you make the ad more persuasive How could you make it more factual
discuss signs that use pictures or symbols rather than words Are the picturessigns clear Can they be quickly understood by everyone How could you improve them
discuss announcements that you hear especially pre-recorded ones (eg on public transport) Is the announce-ment easy to hear Is the language simple and clear Would anyone have trouble understanding the announcement Is the content useful How could you make the announcement more effective
practise map reading skills ndash eg find a particular shop on the shopping centre map find your stop on a public transport map or find the building you want on a map of the school What is the best way to get there
look around for tessellations (patterns with repeating geometric shapes that fit together without any gaps or over-laps) ndash eg in tiles paving brickwork or fabric patterns
