Week 2 Lockdown, August,2021

Hi everyone

What a week we have had.  During this week I have managed to visit classes and have seen a number of you on the screen. It was great to attend the Room 8 Online Talent Quest this morning.  Congratulations to Bella who was 1st place and who kept on singing with her beautiful voice, even though she had some challenges with the song. It reminded me of pressing through even when things go wrong.  Congratulations to Lucy & Samisoni (2nd equal) who both entertained us with their singing. 

Behind the scenes, a lot has been going on with certain staff dropping off chromebooks, and some staff going into school to start making and giving out Education Packs.  More information will come out soon in regard to this.

A huge thank you to Peter & Lionel and their team working from Wesley Primary School getting food parcels out to different families. Thanks everyone involved with this venture. It is much appreciated.

I want to congratulate Gammado, Yohanness, Levi & Haiti for putting up at least four blogs since the start of lockdown. The reason we encourage blogging is because research shows that blogging increases student achievement, which is why the Summer Learning Journey was established a few years ago. My challenge to all the students is to start or continue with blogging. Prizes for doing this will be given out once we return to school.

On a final note, I was impressed with the challenge set by Mrs Walliss in regard to cooking. I have to admit that I have not cooked anything, (apart from toast and simple meals), for a long time.  So here is my Teriyaki Beef meal I cooked for my family.  In regards to Learn, Create, Share it ticks all three boxes. I learnt to cook. I created the meal, and then I shared it with my family.
