Hi and thanks for logging on to our class blog page. During the year, I encourage you to come back here regularly to look at some of our learning and leave a comment. Your participation in the blog is valuable feedback to our class. If you ‘Subscribe by email’ you will be notified whenever a new post is added (about once a week/fortnight).
This year is going to be a fantastic year if we all work together. We will all make mistakes (myself included) but with the right attitude we will see some amazing learning occur. To start with I thought students could reply to this blog post by saying what they hope to learn this year and parents could reply by saying what they remember from Year 3 or 4. When students reply, please just use first names to help protect our identities.
I’ll start. I remember from Year 3 my teacher was Ms Anderson and we did ‘Investigation’ time. In Year 4 my teacher was Mr James (yes, the same Mr James from Craigburn!) and everyday we did NRG (energy) which was fitness.
I’m looking forward to reading your responses!
Cheers,
Mrs Khalaf
Kai: this year I would like to learn about the Bermuda Triangle, The City of Adelaide Ship and Pompeii.
Stacey: I remember from year 4, we had to run around the oval for fitness and writing letters and putting our letters in envelopes for our friends and family.
Stacey, we still run around the oval sometimes!!
Kai, I’m looking forward to negotiating some projects with you.
