Teaching and Learning 

Learning in Lockdown!

Last week the Year 5-6 students were asked to write a letter to their teacher reflecting on their remote learning experiences during Term Two. Ms Sartoria and Mrs Hope were really impressed by the comments students’ made in their letters; their opening sentences set the scene for their audience and students presented a reasonable and very balanced view of remote learning pointing out both negatives and positives of the experiences. Every letter contained a really strong personal writer’s voice and concise, descriptive snapshots of learning in lockdown.

I’m having a really fun time doing remote learning. It’s a bit different because we don’t have a real teacher and I feel a little lonely sometimes. By Lily P-O

What I have learned this term is how to get somebody to be persuaded and I think I have been getting really decent at it. I think I could be a noble salesman or an inventor because I have super good ideas, like flying chairs! By Arthur

Well, to sum it all up, it’s been an amazing experience. I’ve also enjoyed it a bit more than sitting in a classroom but overall it’s been a bit boring. By Holly
