Welcome Division 4 2018-2019
I’m very excited to welcome a (mostly) new group of students to my classroom and very excited to see what kind of adventures we get into as the school year progresses.
While my blog is intended for communicating with parents, I absolutely encourage students to use it as well, as another resource to aid with their personal organisation.
Please keep a close eye here as there will many bits of news in the coming weeks. I look forward to working with everyone this school year.

Summer school is not complete without outdoor experiences. Even for coders.
July 10
Today we tucked into some Blockley coding using Code.org. Students are encouraged to finish the “Express Course” to help develop some coding skills. We also started playing with Scratch, which also uses Blockley, to actually start developing a game. After students have finished their Fish Chomp game, they will get to design their own game.
