The aim of the project is to:

 2. Enable the students to develop basic photography skills. 

 3. Become familiar with iPad and it's capabilities for allowing creativity.

 4. Use the Class Notebook app (Office 365) to store and retrieve data.

Week 6: I love long weekends!

Good evening, What a well-timed long weekend! It was a a great chance to rest and recoup, with lots of fun things to do in the most beautiful place with the most beautiful weather! I hope you've had a wonderful break. This week is a short one, but  a full one. CLASSROOM Reading groups were a hit!!  As stated last week, reading groups have begun and I can happily report that both myself and the students were very excited when reading group time came around each day!

What week 3 Already!?!

Good morning everyone, It's amazing the difference a bit of sunshine can make to one's mood and outlook on life!  Yesterday was such a perfect summer's day in the middle of spring, a great little taste of what's to come. I know I made the most of it while it was here, I hope you too had fun out in the sun with your loved ones xx This morning was such a beautiful way to start the week, my heart was filled with so much love and gratitude watching the students interact with their grandparents. The students first treated their guests with a little gift we had made for them. They then completed an interview with their grandparent, exploring many new things about them like what they loved to play, read and do at school. Lastly the students proudly took their grandparents on a little tour of the class, showing off their quality pieces of work! Here are a few pics from this morningšŸ˜Š REMINDERS - WEEK 3 Assembly Week 3 -  Assembly will begin at 2.10pm

At the start of this Term we are focusing on Persuasive writing, therefore the 'hook' I created was that Sally the sloth is apart of a breeding program at the Perth Zoo and I had made an application to have the chance to babysit Sally for a week. My application was approved and told them in a couple of weeks (after her immunisations of course), I will be able to drive up to Perth to collect her for a week. I then told the students that the
