Schoolyard enhanced learning - ebook

Schoolyard-Enhanced Learning shows how the school grounds – regardless of whether your school is in an urban, suburban, or rural setting – can become an enriching extension of the classroom.
In this comprehensive handbook, Herb Broda blends theory and practice, providing readers with practical suggestions and teacher-tested activities for using the most powerful audio-visual tool available – the outdoors.
At a time when children’s natural curiosity about the outdoors is eclipsed by the demands of busy schedules and the ever-present glow of video screens, schools may be the only place where they are encouraged to interact with nature. Schoolyard-Enhanced Learning can help teachers unlock the powerful learning experiences that exist just beyond the classroom door.

This book is available to CEO Parramatta staff as an ebook from Staffnet - Resources - Ebook library. Click on the title here to access the book: Schoolyard-Enhanced Learning. (You will be directed to Staffnet first to login.)

Jai and Kassy's Journey at Nano Cottage

Two students graduated from the Nano Cottage Kitchen Garden Program on Wednesday 8 December at the annual Christmas party. Jai and Kassy received the traditional Graduation Certificate and a DVD of their time on the program over the last few years. The DVD was a gift from Imelda (St Michael's parish volunteer) who has attended the Language Group sessions each Wednesday and assisted with everything from, watering, weeding, and harvesting to pumpkin carving! Kassy's mother provided delicious cup cakes, Jai's mother gave the students sherbert sticks and Miss Clare ensured there were plenty of Christmas treats to go around! Mrs Boyer (Learning Support Teacher at St Michael's) called by to congratulate Jai and Kassy and to join in the fun!
