Hi Everyone,

It certainly has been a strange time for me as a teacher.  Being in my classroom and working alongside a wonderful group of children is such a joy and a privilege.  Bringing our engaging curriculum to your children in such a beautiful setting and together with my colleagues is also something I find nourishing and supportive.  With all this said and home schooling my own children during this time, I am really looking forward to getting back into the classroom!

I would like to thank my wonderful class parents for guiding and supporting their children to continue to work through our main lessons in such adverse times.  Our online platform Seesaw has also worked really well for some and the constant contact has been reassuring.

The children have managed to continue on with their reading, numeracy and even craft whilst at home.  Class 3 have finished their farming main lesson and are now onto Measurement.  Class 4 completed their form drawing main lesson.  They have also worked through lots of writing activities in the form of a talk for writing example and their own creative writing.  Class 4 are now doing measurement.  The children have also been gifted some wonderful fold out German wooden rulers from Connie and Gert, parents of former students Joy and Sahbanna.  We are very grateful.

In week 4 we will complete the measurement main lesson and then Class 3 will undertake Buildings and Shelters and Class 4 will begin their Human and Animal main lesson.

I'm also excited to introduce a new student who begins her journey with us today. Isabelle Gillett joins us in Class 4, with her younger brother Archie in Class 2, and baby at home.  Their parents are Clare and Heath Gillett.

I would also love your empty large Moccona Coffee Jars for a project this term.  Please drop to class 3-4.

Many thanks,

Robyn
