Lockdown Return

LOL (Lockdown Online) has come to a grinding halt for most of us and we are now preparing to return back to the comforts of our classrooms - what these will look like will be the same as when we suddenly gapped our rooms that final day after the Level 4 announcement.  The only difference will be the array of sanitation stations in Room 2 (mini sanitiser bottles, reminder stickers on each learning table), visual displays alert to safe hygiene practises and reminders to wash, sanitise, wash, sanitise...........
Week 6 return and only 5 students - and very much greatful to those 5 students who returned ready and willing to share their lockdown narratives with me.  Although some continued at home for various reasons, Room 2 were ready rock n roll.  The week was full of PB4L - role playing, fun systems, team building, laughter, popcorn popping and our very own school DJ was in the mix jamming a range of sounds at morning tea/lunch time. Super Duper proud of our students and their resilience to rise above the 8 weeks of lockdown - and now we have entered into Level 1 as of Monday 11.59pm 💛.  Massive thank you to our families for trusting in our systems set in place so that your children can come back to school.  Hi Five to the MOE (Ministry of Education) for the devices and hard packs that our students received also.  Bring on the last legs of this term.
