Monday is our first day in Room 16! We have four returning students from Room 20, 2012 and twenty-four new students. I am very excited and looking forward to the best year yet!
I created this video from a folder of captured learning images in 2012 and included one nephew, two nieces and my eldest daughter Estelle meeting the pet lamb Melissa when she was little (Melissa is now a fat pet sheep). These images all capture the theme of learning through exploring and having fun.
It was inspired by this video from the teacher Stephanie Thompson. I follow her teaching blog and on Twitter. We share many similar teaching philosophies. Teachers are always learning. A lot of the words in my video are similar because I believe in them strongly too. I hope you enjoy it...

ReplyDeleteFantastic, what an inspirational way to start the year. It highlights the need for us all to grab opportunities and challenges and extend ourselves to places we never thought we could go. The answer is always within ourselves and the attitude we have for everything we do.

I enjoyed adding shots of my family to the video and I think it suits it well.
I love the music what is it called?
ReplyDeleteIt is called Splat by Bailter Space. They were one of my favourite bands and they are from New Zealand!
