Harmony Day? No worries!

These great Guatemalan worry dolls were created by the Kindergarten students to help our school celebrate Harmony Day this week.

Slow and steady still does it...

Today, a hare once again raced a tortoise for a medal and a gold trophy - this time in the intense Penrith heat. Tomorrow, my Kindergarten bloggers will create a jointly constructed retelling of the famous Aesop's fable.

Wonderful wikis

Today I bit the bullet and leaped into the next era of ICT (information communications technology) and taught a dozen Kindergarten students (and myself, slightly one step ahead) how to design a wiki.

Now, I've dabbled in adding and editing an existing wiki (eg. Wikipedia, Memory Alpha, Memory Beta, etc), but this time I had to work out how to design one, and how to help the students to build up a narrative (in fable form, complete with a motto) - and post it to the wiki.

Within a few moments of launch, our fledgling wiki web pages were being looked at by two different Internet surfers in California, USA. Amazing! Young students are simply not scared to (literally) push that newest button in modern technology.
