Good morning 5/6B! It's Miss Brown here. Sorry I'm not at school today - I woke up with no voice whatsoever! Very annoying. I'll be back tomorrow though, and I'm sure your teacher today will be leaving me a note to let me know how the day went. I would LOVE to see some positive feedback! Can you help the teacher out with displaying stuff on the board? I've asked Hayden to fix the silly sound problem that we've been having, but he might not have had time yet, so you might just need to watch any videos yourself on your iPads.
Could you also please make sure you choose sensible spots to sit on the floor. You know what I mean. 😉
Hope you have a great day. See you tomorrow!
Miss Brown 😊
PS: Please don't touch the laminator!!!! Maybe it could be very carefully put away in the cupboard? I'll put it back together tomorrow.
Learning Intention: We are learning to understand Dreamtime stories.
Success Criteria: I can compare and contrast two Dreamtime stories.
