Learning is a lot of fun

Sometimes teachers get to play and have fun after school while learning too! LEGO WE.DO training was a great time for all after school this week. I am thinking that once we become a K-6 school we should do this with the younger grades back home. It was a lot of fun. I am excited to do with my class this week.

It has been raining a lot lately! When it rains it pours is very true in Sydney. We have got our fill of rain in the last few weeks. On the school side I have finished my program review and am continuing to learn and be trained in new things each week. This week I tackle PLAN data.

Today Maëlle did her first presentation at school for a science project on mixtures. She made a cheese spread and brought in cheese spread on wraps for her class. She proudly told me that she used the boys feedback before her to help with her presentation and held her paper lower. She also said she needs to work on volume (no surprise) and her eye contact was great! Her reading is improving everyday. Considering she had no formal English reading instruction this is pretty good!

Her Harmony Day picture she made. Pretty cute if I do say so. She is already better that me at the Australian anthem. Singing it most nights as she dances around the house.

Harmony day this is the language I speak, Bonjour.

Oh and Matt has been giving his go at making a backpack carrier for Malia for our trip to the Blue Mountains and for travelling after Australia. He has been trying sewing, but his latest was using one of his backpacks with Malia.
