Term 2, Week 1

Hi Parents and students,

I hope you have all managed to have a fantastic Easter break. I was very productive turning whole wine barrels into half wine barrels for some citrus trees and herbs. Even though I haven’t connected any water to my block in Quedjinup, I now have a 7m x 2m veggie garden with some garlic, lettuce, cabbage and broccoli growing. I’ve been self-isolating up there most afternoons with a 15l container of water to feed the seedlings, so happy days. We are definitely so lucky to be where we are with all the restrictions in place.

As schools have now reopened, the normal classroom timetable will continue in Term 2 

(5 J Timetable). If you choose to keep your child at home, they will be required to complete the same work as the students who attend school. When the students have their specialist classes, students at home will visit that teacher’s blog to complete that work. I will still continue to organise TEAM meetings with the class, however they will be at different times to what was occurring at the end of last term. 

Everyone will receive a message alerting you to a new blog each morning. The blog will have a link to a ‘Learning Schedule’ for that day. IF A TEAM"S MEETING HAS BEEN SCHEDULED FOR THAT DAY, IT WILL BE CLEARLY HIGHLIGHTED IN THE DAILY LEARNING SCHEDULE AND WHETHER IT IS A WHOLE CLASS OR SMALL GROUP MEETING.

I have made the decision that ALL written work should be completed in an exercise book rather than completing it straight into One Note. To limit screen time, you may have the opportunity to print out the work directly from One Note. To do this, please click on the following link.

Printing from One Note

I think that is all for now. I feel like we will all be in the classroom sooner than we think???

Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

Until next time, choose kind…

Mr Jones
