    Turn to face the sun and the shadows fall behind you.


    Kia ora. I hope you have all had a good break, have not stressed too much about assessment tasks, and have started to get to grips with our new distant learning reality.  I must admit, I am keen to get back to Mission Heights and to catch up with you all in person, but until that is an option for us, we will have to do the best we can.  This week (and possibly next week) I would like to focus our reading and writing on looking at some distant learning that has been happening for many years- some of you may have some knowledge already, of how school students in the outback of Australia access education - for others this will be a brand new concept. We will read articles and stories about The School of the Air and write to share our information.
