To be honest, I haven't read these since they came out. I am scanning all copies of journals that I have that are not available online just to save shelf space. I then thought that I might as well, depending on the copyright situation, make them available to others...

Never shut the door on students; regardless of what poor choice they make.
There should always be another chance & there should always be room for redemption.
The worst response we can have is to close the door, lock it & throw away the key.

One of the best ways for schools to teach empathy, respect, inclusion and compassion, is to as adults, model these behaviors each and every day for our students.
It can be easy to forget, but our students are always watching.

Thrilled to get such a great review by @educationalappstore: "Makers Empire 3D is a great way to introduce 3D modelling and computer skills to children... Makers Empire 3D is by far one of the best 3D computer-aided design applications we have seen." bit.ly/3d4jcIE

Ungarra Primary School are getting creative with their writing! Year 2 - 4 students have been dressing up and reading their writing while in character.
Here's one student dressed as a "granny" to read her story. 📝
