Duolingo

Would you like to challenge yourself?  What if you could communicate with your children in German and support their learning outside their 1 x50 minute lesson each week?  

 

All of our students from Year 3-7 have an online account which I have set up on DUOLINGO.  There are many language learning sites on the internet, but this is one I feel is very user friendly, appropriate for our students, and FREE. I have a teacher account on Duolingo for schools where I have created classrooms so that I can see the students' activity, progress and also assign specific tasks for them to do.

 

So parents, here’s my challenge for you:

Create your own account on Duolingo and then follow the steps below to join my class STAFF/PARENTS so that I can check in and follow your progress.  

 

I recommend that you use a username I might recognise - eg. LEdwards or LibbyE

Create your own account at www.duolingo.com

In your profile, go to settings

Then go to progress sharing

Enter the class code  XWXZFA

Start learning German with Duo (owl mascot) 

 

Thank you for your support - viel Glück,

Libby (Frau Edwards)

Premier’s Be Active Challenge

During this uncertain time we all need to look after each other and put our physical and mental health first. We are all missing children’s and adult’s sports on the weekends and need to continue to support and encourage our children to stay physical. Active Kids make better learners! Building children’s engagement and enthusiasm for physical activity is vital for their wellbeing and promotes a healthy heart, healthy mind and healthy body. 

 

It is timely to begin The Premier's Be Active Challenge to inspire and encourage us and keep us accountable in staying active with our children while we all learn to isolate. Why not start the Premier's Be Active Challenge in the upcoming holidays! 

 

The Challenge

The challenge is to do at least 60 minutes of physical activity on at least 5 days of the week for at least 4 weeks. After 4 weeks of daily recorded physical activity children will receive a medal in November. Simply record your progress on the booklet provided, sign and return your registration form to the front office later this year. The Challenge finishes on the 25th September 2020, so there is plenty of time.  This will give children time to be active and record their activity whilst at home. Being physically active is as simple as washing the car, taking the dog for a walk and making an obstacle course in the backyard. There is a list of suggested physical activities provided in the booklet. Children received a booklet during this week to get them started. Fisher children can access the PBAC via their classroom, where they can access the booklet online to print and record. Some copies can be found in the front office. More information can be found on the website http://www.pbac.sa.edu.au/.
