Living Maths Sleepover Notice and Application Form What is the Living Maths Sleepover all about? Living Maths is an academic programme with a difference. We teach school children about LIVING, using MATHS. We do this through a practical and hands-on based curriculum. Living Maths emphasises that children should experience the application of mathematics in order to fully grasp and appreciate its usefulness. A Sleepover is merely a natural extension of the Living Maths classes with the added dynamism of interaction, socialising, developing ideas, exploring and discovering together with peers. The Sleepover will be taking place at Olive Schreiner Hall, First Floor, 1820 Settler’s National Monument. The Sleepover has a limit of 40 places and it will work on a first-come-first-served-basis. Exciting activities have been put together to ensure that the children maximise their experience. There will be ample adult supervision. Tell me more about the programme The Sleepover has been designed in such a way that there will be activities to cater for everyone. Our experience has taught us that the variety on the programme will have even the quietest or the shyest child feeling comfortable when taking part. We have prepared many activities that involve the Living Maths approach to understanding Maths. Without divulging too much about the programme, here is what your child can look forward to while having loads of fun and making new friends:   

A legendary evening of group activities Great snacks Videos and DVD’s on the Big Screen

There is a strong likelihood that your child will have limited sleep at the Sleepover, partly due to the excitement, and partly due to nocturnal children, and subsequently they will probably be exhausted. If you feel that your child needs their sleep and they cannot exercise self-control, then we do not recommend that you send your child. When is this Sleepover anyway and how much are we talking? The Sleepover begins at 20h00 on Saturday, 21 March 2015. Please ensure that your child is dropped off at the Olive Schreiner Hall, First Floor, 1820 Settler’s National Monument by 20h00. The total cost of the Sleepover will be R50-00 and it includes accommodation, dinner, breakfast, security, plenty adult supervision and the brilliant programme. The Sleepover will end at 08h00 on Sunday, 22 March 2015. Kindly collect your child before 08h30 as the venue opens shortly afterwards to the general public.

So where do we sign up? If you are interested in registering your child, please understand that we can only take a maximum of 40 children and therefore we highly recommend that you contact us at your earliest convenience. We are operating on a first-comefirst-served basis. The deadline for the registration (if there are any places left) will be Monday, 9 March 2015. Due to catering and accommodation arrangements, we need to have final figures before we embark. So what must my child bring? The following items are recommended to ensure a comfortable Sleepover:   

Sleeping bag, mattress, pillow Change of clothing, toiletries Torch, snacks and sweets. (Optional)

Parents: Please ensure that all items that belong to your child are clearly marked. We kindly ask parents not to send your child with expensive clothing or expensive items since we will not be held responsible if these valuables go missing. We will have a cellphone (083 308 3883) at the venue in case you would like to contact us in an emergency. We have decided that as much as we enjoy parental support and participation in everything that we do, this Sleepover is the only exception. Children will be taking a break from their parents and vice versa. As parents, you deserve a rest too. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours sincerely. Steve Sherman Managing Director PS: Please explain to your child that if they need to exercise self-control and if they are too rough and found responsible for any damages, they will be sent home with the bill. This is not only unpleasant for you, but also for us, as we may not be allowed to make use of the Olive Schreiner Hall as a venue for future Sleepovers.

Please note the following: The safety of your child is our primary concern. If your child, in anyway, knowingly compromises the safety of any of the other participants, under the discretion of the Director, your child will be expelled from the Sleepover. You will be required to fetch your child from the Monument building and you will forfeit the Sleepover fees. No child will be permitted to leave the Sleepover without the supervision of an Adult. No child will be permitted to bring harmful weapons (pocket-knives included), cigarettes, alcohol or drugs. Any child who is caught with these items in their possession will be expelled from the Sleepover – with no further discussion. Finally, every child is required to behave appropriately and any destruction of property, invasion of people’s privacy, intimidation or violence, etc. is not permitted. Please explain this to your children before they take part. We thank you for your understanding.
