It was a very long second term with twelve weeks and lots on. The highlight was our school production, Circus Splendida. What a night! Check out our posts on the production on individual student blogs.

At the end of term, which was also the end of semester one, we reviewed our goals that we had set at the start of the year. Some people had met their goals well, some had not met them but had made some progress, whilst others had forgotten that they had set goals at all! We learned that goals are only useful if they are revisited and reviewed regularly.

So now we are on our two week winter break. Some of our students are travelling, some are staying home, others are visiting friends or relatives. I went on a quiet trip with my husband to the Grampians and Sovereign Hill, which is very different without dozens of children in tow! I also set a goal for July – to clean my desk at work (stop rolling on the floor laughing, grade 5/6C – I mean it this time!). Here’s some proof that mine is not the messiest desk on Earth:   

What are you doing these holidays? Where are you going? Have you goals to achieve? Post a comment!

Freya is leaving us to travel through Asia for the rest of the school year – what a fantastic adventure. We hope she will keep in contact through her blog. Have a wonderful trip, Freya; you will be missed! When she returns, Freya will be going straight to high school.

On her last day, following our new tradition, Freya got to be “Queen of the Chair” – that means she got to sit in the recliner whenever she wanted to. She made herself a crown and generally did whatever she wanted (within reason, of course! Freya was Queen of the Chair but Mrs C remains Queen of the Classroom!)
