My New Blog

A NEW New Year 

A new year, new students, a new classroom, a new blog, and a new way of teaching.

Welcome to Room 2, new students and welcome back old students.

We are blessed to have Lavinia join us again this year, to help guide you through your learning journey. 

Our testing is done, and I hope you are all ready to Let The Learning Begin...lessshgoooo

 What a successful first Goggle Meet with Room 4 (formerly Room 6) this morning.

We had a lot of fun catching up and playing Kahoot!  Nobody seems too disheartened about being at home...I wonder why?

Well done Marlborough, Sandringham, and Windsor for turning up.  Edinburgh, we missed you.

The students are preparing some Kahoot! for our next meet...can't wait.

Remember, we don't mind if you haven't washed your face, haven't brushed your teeth (thankfully we can't smell your morning dragon breath, or haven't made your bed.  We just want to see your beautiful faces and hear your lovely laughter.

What'cha got cookin?

Pooooo-weeee the stink of onions boiling away in my house.  Reminds me of my childhood visits to my grans house where she would cook onions in white sauce...smells gross, tastes GOOD.

I am boiling red onions, and avocado skin and a pit for a Science experiment on natural dyes.  Hopefully the students are surprised by the dye colours they produce? 

I'll also do a red cabbage dye and then change the colour using an alkaline and acid.

Kitchen science is such FUN.

Well, this hasn't quite been the start to the year we expected, but as a wise young man once told me: 

  IT IS, WHAT IT IS!  

This may be our new normal and we need to be prepared for lockdown again.

It is important we don't lose heart 💖, and remember to find our happy place 😁 while we are away from our classmates.

 This week we were invited to undertake an art piece using Vector Art.

This is an awesome piece of work produced by Chris.  

Well done Chris!  I love the use of colour and the emotion in the lion's face.

The eagle looks powerful.

The Lion & the mouse.
