Turning Challenges into Successes  

We have conquered!

This term started off with a lot of uncertainty and unfamiliar ground. Although the challenges were many, the successes were more!

The Year 5 students are feeling amazing and they should. They have tackled challenges unknown to them and educated themselves beyond what any curriculum could teach. They have shown responsibility and maturity as each and every student took control of their learning and applied themselves to every task at hand.

Here’s how Year 5NM turned a challenge into a success with just positive thinking:

“I like online learning because I can work at my own pace, and I can spend more time with my family.”  Kourtney Jones

“Ten weeks into it and online learning is going very well. My best part of it has to be working while sitting next to a crackling fire, sipping hot chocolate and keeping warm and toasty during the cold weather” Sanam Srikewal

“My favorite thing about online learning is that I can stay in my Pajamas all day and learn in the comfort of my own home.” Joshua Greyling

“The best part about online learning is that I can concentrate without any distractions” Tshiamo Ngcizela

“The best part about online learning is that I can have snacks in the middle of a lesson and I can spend the whole day in my pajamas.” Isabella Lockhart

“The best part of online learning for me is that I can work at my own pace and stay in my pajamas.  I can also snack and take breaks whenever I want to.” Cole Dreyer

“I have found the best part of online learning is I have a friend who is helping me with my work. I enjoy working with him.”

“I enjoy seeing my friends on the calls and I enjoy doing challenging work because I can learn from the challenge!!!!” Jenna Eberlein

We have turned challenges into successes and we keep it moving! Positive thinking is our goal. Well done, Year 5NM!
