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!

These photos make me feel better about my desk at school and at home! Sydney public schools are also on a two-week break and I’ll be cleaning out my desk as well. Mrs C do your students also help you locate items on your desk when you can’t find them like my class do?

From Mrs C: Grace, I am glad to know I am not the only one with a messy desk! I subscribe to the idea that a neat desk is the sign of a disorderly mind, so my mind must be crystal clear! And yes, whilst my desk is normally off limits to students, occasionally I have to send in a search party!

Hey Mrs C!
And to think my desk was messy, mine is a jungle but these desks are even worse.
I feel better that mine is not that bad. Otherwise I could get lost!
