Another mad day in Ballarat!  It was such a full day.  Started out with the BEST staff development; Thai Chi on Lake Wendouree taught by a Master who doesn't speak English and required a translator.  It will now be a regular Friday afternoon staff event it was so good.  Saw my first Black Swans, met parents, set up my classroom.  Seriously missing all my classroom 'things', must get over that in a hurry...I have nothing here, but the staff has been so generous in lending me anything I need.   I have been told my room looks like the rooms they see in the movies and that the kids will love it...eek, here's hoping!  Tomorrow I meet my students.  Wish me luck!
