The girls have adjusted to this different way of learning with resilience, determination and adaptability, all signs of a true independent learner! It was lovely to see some smiling faces during the carline distribution of resources last week and it was great to hear that the girls were so keen to get home and set themselves up for learning. We have been so impressed by the level of independence the girls have demonstrated as learners, ensuring that they are ready on time and organised with everything they need for their lessons. We hope that this continues throughout the period of At Home Learning.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-5321 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/Learning-at-home_1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/Learning-at-home_1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/Learning-at-home_2.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/Learning-at-home_2-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/Learning-at-home_3.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/Learning-at-home_3-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/Learning-at-home_4.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/Learning-at-home_4-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/Learning-at-home_5.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/Learning-at-home_5-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/Learning-at-home_6.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/Learning-at-home_6-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>The COVID pandemic might have put real life international travel for most of us on hold, but it was wonderful to see our girls travel outside of their classrooms to learn about Bastille Day in French and the upcoming Tokyo Olympics in Geography and Maths lessons. Year 3 were even sent a special virtual message from Olympic Water Polo Player Hannah Buckling, who was jetting off to Tokyo that morning. She wished the girls well in their online learning adventures and shared a little inside information about what its like to be an Olympic athlete! And of course, staying home hasn\u2019t stopped us moving in the Primary School. The PDHPE staff have kept the Primary girls active this week, with their heart rates well and truly elevated. It was lovely to see the girls involved in Dance and Aerobic lessons from the comfort of their own homes. The School community celebrated NAIDOC week too across all year groups. Kindergarten completed a beautiful collective class artwork from home, with each girl colouring their own individual square which Ms Anderson then put together as one large piece. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll all agree, it looks brilliant.<\/p>\n<p>The Primary teachers could not be prouder of the girls and the way in which they have thrown themselves into this new learning adventure. We\u2019ve all been in the Learning Pit a few times over the past week, but with kindness towards ourselves and others, some patience, commitment and good humour we\u2019ve had a wonderful week of learning. Who knows when we will come together as a community again face-to-face, but until then, we\u2019ve got this!<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-5321 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/French-lesson-snapshot-Y4-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:2:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/French-lesson-snapshot-Y4-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/Year-5-Aerobics-1.png\" data-rel=\"lightcase:2:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/Year-5-Aerobics-1-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/Year-5-Dancing-1.png\" data-rel=\"lightcase:2:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/Year-5-Dancing-1-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/3F-with-Hannah-002-1.png\" data-rel=\"lightcase:2:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2021\/07\/3F-with-Hannah-002-1-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Take care and stay safe,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Helen Dempsey<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Head of Primary<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first week of Home Learning in the Primary School has been filled with fun, challenge and adventure, just like every week in the Primary School!
