Well the weather was wild and windy this week and in our room we were a little bit the same at times. But the horse managed to get out and about.

We enjoyed a range of literacy and numeracy activities to consolidate our skills. We participated in: art and music, worked on interpersonal relationships and getting along with others, social skills program, looking at naming our emotions and utilising the Bounce Back program and Transporters DVD, kept physical by doing Go Noodle, Smiling Minds, Cosmic Yoga and Sport, visited This space and th@space as well as attending a whole school assembly to acknowledge our outstanding students for attendance, academic and effort. No wonder we were a little tired by Friday.

One new skill we focused on was teaching the boys to access their student portal via the school intranet. We are using Google Apps to access a range of applications that will supersede word, publisher and excel as they save automatically, allow access anywhere and allow more than one person at a time to work on them.

It was lovely to see some students borrowing from the sports shed and having fun together. I witnessed persistence and resilience whilst Bruce and Blake Piper were learning how to use a hockey stick, their were smiles galore.
