Notes from Tanya

We have decided to run the graduation concert as planned on Monday 7th December. Year sixes will also be off on a camp to Phillip Island in the last week and will return back just in time for Father Xmas.

It’s the third last week of school and the activity steps up yet again. Filming for the play is next week, so let’s have a busy but happy week and cross your fingers for no more sick children.

We have started rehearsing some parts of the play this week. Whatever happens, we’ll make the best of it and at least it will be a very different performing experience for the children.

It was so nice to receive the wonderful products the children make at breaks and lunchtimes from the mud pit, which include flat whites and lattes as well as delightful tarts and chocolate cakes!

We realise there’ll be more screen time for this week, but the time when the children share their learning is very significant as it is yet another way of learning. I think Benjamin Franklin said, “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”

What was that saying – “Hope springs eternal?” We’ve survived a weekend of freakish weather, the power is back on, but we do have the internet playing up at school today, so teachers are madly running from room to room trying to find a computer for their Zoom meetings.
