  1. Thought as I was already online I would complete this task in the quiet of my own sitting room! I have for the first time requested online resources and am hoping to get some links to interactive sites for my class for term 2. Topic is relationships with other people including links to Education for Sustainability. will let you know what I receive. = D

  3. Thinking about the library in the holidays and thanks to Rob's help have begun the huge task of weeding out all our old books and have made my very first purchase of new ones . A satisfying if nervous start to a long journey.
    Thanks for the course, day 1 was fantastic.

  4. Like Brooke, I have begun to weed our collection now that I can see it. Our non-fiction seems dated and dusty. We need more sophisticated picture books as well I think. Will have to work on a long term plan once the dust of refurbishment settles.

    I also ordered all of our school's National Library books for term 2 and it was painless and simple. I for one got some nice books for my class. Can I order a set of books for the library as a separate entity?
