Term 3 in the Year 4 / 5 Class
It is great to be back in Australia and back at Orange Grove! I had a great time in America (Be sure to check out my weblog) but I sure did miss my wonderful class of Year 4s and 5s.
We have a great Term 3 planned. We will be learning about 'abilities and disabilities' and discovering that every single person in our community has amazing talents, even people who may seem different to us.
We also have a very special project planned, where the students in Room 3 will work with Elaine Forrestal, a famous West Australian author. Stay tuned for more info!

Mr Fuller's Big Adventure!
From the 16th of June, I will be off to the United States of America to take part in the world's biggest educational technology conference.
I will be visiting Atlanta, New York City, Washington and Philadelphia and will return to OGPS at the start of third term. Ms Merriel Webb will be taking the class in my absence.
I have set up a website so that I can communicate with you all while I am away. Be sure to check the site regularly, as I will be posting photos, podcasts and blog postings most days that I am away.
It should be a fantastic experience, and I look forward to bringing back lots of great new ideas to try out at Orange Grove Primary.
