2020

Well hasn't this year got off with a bang!

I'm Miss Brownlee, the Room 4 teacher for 2020. The first term was all go for Room 4, I can't thank you all enough for being so patient with me while I learn about a Digital Classroom! It is a lot to take in after being a preschool teacher for so long and I think that you all deserve to give yourselves a huge pat on the back for the way you have helped, guided and suggested to me things to help me learn about our Digital Classroom. You are all so knowledgeable!

In the first term Room 4 had swimming sessions at Cobden School Pool on Fridays. I really enjoyed taking a group for lessons, I used to be a Swimming Tutor before I became a teacher! The children in Room 4 showed off their skills in the pool and then everybody got a chance to have free play in the pool before getting back on the bus to go back to school. I managed to get some photos which I have posted in the Photos link on the Home page of our Learning Site.

Term 2 has started with us all learning from home. Covid-19 has affected the whole world and the lockdown in New Zealand came at the right time. This action made by our government has meant that we can all play our part to try to completely stop the spread of the Covid-19 virus in our country. It has been hard on everybody and I know that the children in Room 4 miss each other and their other friends at school a lot. It is also so hard not being able to go and see other family members who are not in our bubble. Just know that you are all doing your job so well and when this is over we will be able to see each other again. For now, Hangout with me! The link to my Hangout is on the Home page of our Learning Site. Just let me know if you want/need to talk by sending me an email.

For now, kia kaha- be strong, stay home and be kind, to each other and to yourselves.
See you in the Hangout!

Miss Brownlee.
