Open Night
It was fantastic to see so many students, parents and grandparents at Craigburn’s open night. There were wonderful conversations happening when children were sharing their learning. They were so proud to show their families all the fantastic work they have been doing!
Here are some of the lovely comments we received on our Padlet (wall wisher) describing the thoughts of the some of the families and friends who visited our classroom.
Have a look at this Picture Trail to see how enthusiastic everyone was to share in their learning.

Channel 10 News Van
Wow,what an exciting afternoon we had today. The Channel 10 news crew came to Craigburn Primary to look at some of the great things our school does. They visited some classes, talked to the students and we were able to watch what happened on the news later that night.
Andy was the man in charge of the van that sent the live news feed back to Channel 10. He was very friendly and he was happy to show us his van and how the footage taken at Craigburn was sent back to the station.
We were able to go inside the van and look at the many buttons, phones and other interesting things that technicians need to present the news.
We were able to put on the headphones that the producers speak in to.
We were very fortunate to get the opportunity to speak with Andy and we send him a very big THANK YOU for spending time with us and allowing us to see how things work behind the scenes.

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 Tuesday. 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 11 weeks long. It’s summer right now. We are going to learn about keeping ourselves healthy as well as working together co-operatively. We are looking forward to working with Mrs. Nelson’s Year Ones this year.
Please visit our blog often to catch up with our learning.
Mrs. K has put together a video of our school so that you will know what our place of learning looks like.
Open Night At Craigburn Primary School
Last night was Open Night. This is a night when family and friends can visit every class in our school and see all the great learning that is happening across the school. Specialist teachers also open their rooms so that parents who don’t get the opportunity to see all the great things their children do, can talk with their children about things taught.
What a great night it was! My room at times was completely full! 
There were lots of discussions happening and parents talking to other parents about “how education has changed” and “what a lovely place it is to be”.We had the i-pads and i-pods in use which proved to be very popular!
Many thanks to those visitors who posted a comment on our wall wisher. We loved reading them!
i-Pads and i-Pods
We are lucky enough to now have access to 5 i-pods and 5 i-pads across the early years team. Together with Mrs. Kolenberg’s i-pad, i-pod and her phone we have one moblie device between two children. After the excitement of getting them we had to decide what apps to put on for the Reception and Year One classes. Mrs. Kolenberg knew that her teacher friend Ms. Lirenman in Canada had spent a lot of time looking at apps and then shared them with her colleagues around the world via her blog called Learning and Sharing with Ms. Lirenman Thankyou Ms. Lirenman for sharing with us!
So we had a look at those apps and have started to put some of them onto our own devices. Some of my children in Year One helped me find the apps at the App store and together we made folders to put the new apps into. They were a great help. Many thanks to those boys!
We are very keen use these devices and learn from each other.
Here are some photos of the class using all the devices for the first time.
Do you have i-pads and i-pods?
