Sometimes things just don’t go as planned. Initially, the year started off great with myself and the students all settling in well together. Unfortunately, following a family emergency in the UK, I had to make a sudden and unexpected trip which brought our great start to the year to a sudden stop. Considering the year ..read more

Five days done (yes, only 5) and you wouldn’t believe what the students in LA14 have already achieved. They’ve learnt to take a breath when they work, take time, look carefully and make sure their work isn’t just “finished”, but it’s also the best possible and it’s also better than their last effort. They’ve learnt ..read more

Another year and another class. Also, another change of classrooms; last year I was booted out of LA1 and sent back to LA14. There was a good reason for this, though, as I’ve changed year groups. This year, LA14 will be a split class made up of year 5 and year 6 students. A split ..read more

The end of the school year has come around once again in Australia. We’re very different from all the nations in the northern hemisphere in that our school year runs parallel to the calendar year. The big reason for this is that our summer starts in December and ends in February (even though the Aboriginal ..read more

Even the best of people need a helping hand now and again. This is even more true when those “best” people happen to only be aged 10 or 11. So, this week we gave the whole of our year 5 students a day of reflective, self-improvement and leadership activities. We had a visit from the ..read more

Last week we left the cozy comfort of our classroom for the hard, basic conditions of one of the earliest settlers in Western Australia. LA1 and the other year 5 classes visited a famous local landmark, the actual home of one of the oldest families in our town. This particular family landed in Western Australia ..read more

Ask any of our students or even ex-students and they’ll tell you that the best thing about our school are the incredible specialists. We are so fortunate to have specialist Art, Music, Sport and Science teachers, and they’re really the best! If I had to choose, I’d say Music and Art are my personal faves ..read more

I once saw a meme that stated how children don’t learn to the timetable of the curriculum. This stuck in my head, and it stuck for a good reason – it’s true. It has always seemed to me that the people who write the curriculum and those in power to make decisions around education are ..read more

“Go back to where you came from!” Ever heard people shout this at others? Or even at yourself? Well, funny thing is, unless you’re one of our indigenous population then everyone in Australia is from somewhere other than here. The question is – where? In this blogging task you need to ask your parents, or ..read more

LA1 are back in the swing of things! Two weeks off, followed by the usual craziness of chasing the clock and trying to grab some spare time to blog has left this space fairly empty.
