Finally I worked out how to upload onto Youtube so that i could embed this video on here. Thanks Page for the idea of this! :)

WAHOO! PRODUCTION WAS AWESOME!

Well done TEAM 7. I'm sooooooo incredibly proud of you and the effort you put into our class item. I personally think you were the best...but of course I would think that ;)

Here are soem 'BEHIND THE SCENES' photos.

PRODUCTION TIME!

Here is the song that our class will be using in our production item. Our country is obviously Jamaica. We've put together two thirds of our dance item and its's already looking amazing! :)

Today I wanted to give the class a fun reading activity which emphasised the point of 'Reading to Learn not Learning to Read'. In small groups they had to read a set of instructions on how to make a small popsical stick catapult. They made a good start and will continue with this on Friday.
They also had to focus upon the criteria they set for Effective Group Work.

Thanks Everyone!

Thanks to those of you who have passed on your congratulations to me for winning the Walton Principal position for next year.  I am very sad to be leaving such a great school but am extremely excited to be continuing on my leadership pathway. I've always wanted to be a principal and this is by no means a reflection upon TKS-it's an awesome school!


It is ideal timing as I still get to teach TEAM 7 right through to the end of the year. They're one of the best classes I've taught and I'm stoked to be their teacher for two more terms :)
