Heads up for next term + other info:
1. New Education Council has released the 'Code of Professional Responsibility and Standards for the teaching Profession"

There is a search engine called Choosito! which includes a reading level index alongside the search results. So when you conduct a search, you are able to filter according to four different categories; Early readers, Emerging Readers, Fluent Readers or Advanced Readers. Users are also able to sort results by subject area.
This is a free resource, but as a teacher you need to create a Choosito! account to be able to access the filtering options. Once you have registered you can search using the reading level filter. One downside is that it does seem to like Wikipedia but helpful if looking for differentiated reading material.
5. FYI - A selection of the wonderfully decorated doors
It was great to see so many fantastic doors around the mid winter Xmas theme. The student council under Peter's guidance have done a fantastic job bringing a bit of fun to the school this week.
