Hi all,

The highlight of this week would have to be the government's announcement that Year 1-8 students can tentatively return to school on November 15th. This lockdown has been very challenging for everyone and it will be great to put it behind us - albeit with restrictions.

Well done Wil, Viral and Sahar for completing your speech and sharing with me. I look forward to receiving others and hearing them when we go back to school.

There has been lots of other good work shared with me this week and we had fun on our zoom sessions. I even had a lesson in being clear with my instructions - I told a student to "open another window" on his computer then he promptly stood up, walked across the room and opened the window. 

Stars of the week are Wil, Aleena, Prisha and Farhaan - I have shared some of their work below. I particularly liked Wil's photo montage of him being responsible and tidying his bedroom. Well done Wil!

Have a great weekend and I'll see you on Monday.

Mr Henderson.

Hi all,

I hope you had a relaxing break. Students in Room 15 have had a good first week back and it was nice seeing them on the daily zooms. Years 11-13 are back on Tuesday and we are hoping for more clarity on that day regarding going back ourselves. The rising number of Delta cases is a bit worrying.

Make sure your child does all the work on the class site each day and shares it with me. They can always go back to previous slides from any week to complete unfinished work. Keep working on those speeches also - there won't be a cluster competition but everyone will present their speech to the class when we return to school. It is good to see students doing work from the ministry's books. Stars of this week were Viral, Prisha and Farhaan.

Have a great long weekend and I'll see everyone on zoom at 9.30am on Tuesday.

Mr Henderson.
