Room 4 at Craigburn Primary School

Welcome to everyone visiting our blog. We are a class of new year ones and our teacher is Mrs. Kolenberg. There are 25 children in our class and we only started back at school from our holidays on Monday. Craigburn is a school in the foothills of Adelaide. We have lots of trees and are lucky enough to have many birds and koalas visiting.This term will be 10 weeks long. It’s summer right now and we have had some hot days around 35 degrees. We are going to learn about our body systems and keeping ourselves healthy as well as working together co-operatively.

Please visit our blog often to catch up with our learning.

Mrs. K has put together a video of our school. There are no children in it because no-one was at school when she made it!

Mrs. K's hopes for the year.

The beginning of a new year is always filled with excitement, anticipation and sometimes even nerves… for the children, their parents and of course, me! I made this Storybird to share my thoughts and hopes for the 2012 school year. I hope you find time to view it, think about it and provide your feedback via a comment. Thank you. I’m looking forward to a great year.

Quadblogging Buddies

We have new Quadblogging Buddies for the start of 2012.

Quadblogging involves a four week cycle with four schools anywhere in the world who blog. Each school’s blog is the focus for one week out of four. Each school in the Quad spends some time visiting the blog of the school for that week, leaving comments etc. After that week, another one of the four schools becomes the focus. Engagement and motivation is raised as children become the teachers and not just learners, teaching others about their culture and school life.

We are very fortunate to have 2 schools from England and one from France!

The details of each Blog is on our Quadblogging Page. Please visit their sites to look at their fabulous learning and leave a positive comment.

 

The week beginning January 9th is the start of our Quadblogging.The first school is Roydon Primary School in England. We are still on holidays so Mrs. K will do her best to visit our new friends and put comments onto their blogs.
