Hi to all 5WH families,

This page will no longer be used to update 5WH class activities.

BUT!!!!

I am really excited to tell you that 5WH has now fully migrated to our e-learning site on the Learning Place. All students have login ID's and passwords as the class e-site is password protected for your child's safety.  This last week, students have had the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the site and have been asked, as part of their homework, to take you on a tour of the e-learning site. Here you will find not only homework and spelling but also activities, programs and ideas to help with your child's learning. Parent information and articles, study tips and a discussion board for the students use are also included. Assignments and assessment criteria sheets, as well as learning resources will be added to this site as applicable. The students are able to easily email each other and myself and have their own wiki.

A word of advice that has already been given to the students is that I can read everything posted and emailed via this site. Should email or the discussion board be used inappropriately (including inappropriate language, bullying etc), I will withdraw the access of offending students. However, the students in 5WH have indicated responsible use of ICT's this year and I am sure this pleasing attitude will continue.

Parents, please feel free to access the site regularly with your children. If you have any concerns, questions or issues, please don't hesitate to contact me.
