Term 2 - That time we started an off-road adventure into Remote Learning!

'Week Eight- The week of 'lasts'

This week is (hopefully!) the last week that we will be in a Remote Learning situation and, after everyone heaves a sigh of relief, it may be a great time for reflection.

Here at school, we have been taking note of things that have worked really well for our students and families and are looking at ways to incorporate the successful elements into our school life... and home life. It really has been a perfect dichotomy, it's been a super hectic time but the overall pace of life has slowed considerably! Which elements of #isolyf do you hope will linger?

We are already planning the transition of our students back into school life from the 9th of June, with activities and processes that are a blend of Remote Learning and learning at school. This week would be a great opportunity to begin this transition from home.
For example

Getting up, eating breakfast, getting dressed and being ready to learn at 9am
Eating lunch at 11am
Filling in your reading diaries each day
Completing tasks in the order that we use at school (reading, writing, spelling, lunch, maths, topic studies, break)
going to bed at a reasonable hour.

This additional structure will help students prepare to jump back into school life and make for easier drop offs for families.

It is also a great opportunity to celebrate a week of 'lasts'. The Last Time you'll download the planner; The Last Time you'll sit at your desk for such a long time each day;The Last Time you'll best tested on your spelling words by a member of your family. So many lasts to be celebrate!

We know it's been said before, but we cannot thank you enough for all the hard work you've been doing for the past 8 weeks. #TeamMGPS is the best team to be a part of and we are super proud to be on this journey with you.

Have a great week!

Julie, Jess, Simon and Mel
