As Time Goes By…..

29 Years have passed me by,
Time rolls on and so do I,
Loved and lost and loved again,
Lots has changed since I was 10!
Computers, TVs, Mobile Phones,
Solar panels on our homes!
Many changes still to come
And…
I’m looking forward to every one!

What happened to the snow?

Today I am sad because March has arrived and we didn’t even have a snow day off from school this year! We always get at least one day off (and sometimes many more) due to snow or ice. It is so much fun to wake up and find out that you can go back to bed. The day is yours to spend reading, watching TV, or playing in the snow. But March is here so winter is just about over. What happened to the snow this year? If you think I am a student, you are wrong. I am a teacher! Old Man Winter, I miss you!

A very wintery 29th of February

Today started out very cold and rainy and it marked the end of summer for those of us who live “Down Under” plus it meant that we were in a leap year cycle! The students were all excited because they had a swimming lesson at 10am and the rain hadn’t stopped. We talked about being brave enough to ignore the cold and to get into the ‘swimming’ groove!
Most students had a great time being in the pool while it rained but a couple brought along their books to read.
Back in the class, we talked about this blog and the students were very interested, as they are learning how to be confident users of the internet. We haven’t started class blogs yet but I can see great potential in using this means of communication.
This post has been an excellent idea and the students were fascinated by the 29th of February and the concept of a leap year. Most of my students were 4 last leap year and now, at 8, they can understand the whole extra day business.
We will look at class blogs during the year.
