Dear
Parents/Carers/Guardians,
I would like
to introduce myself. My name is Ellie Clark; I am 23 years old, am in my first
year of teaching and have taken over the role as the 6/7 teacher for Jared
Semmler. I am extremely excited to be starting my full time teaching career at
Immanuel and even more so to be in a 6/7 class as my passion for teaching is
working with this age group of students. I attended Immanuel Lutheran School
Gawler myself as a primary school student and then went on to complete
secondary school at Xavier College Gawler. As you may or may not know I had the
great opportunity of attending camp with the 6/7’s at the end of last term and
as a result have already got to know a number of the students across the senior
unit.
Organisation
is a personal strength of mine and it is something that I hope to help students
develop over this term. Efficient organisational skills build foundations for
success especially leading into high school where often the demands on
self-autonomy and independence are greater than that of primary education. This
term students will have the opportunity to put their organisational skills into
action when they plan and lead a fitness session together with two or three
other peers. I believe it is beneficial for middle school students to have
opportunities to take ownership and responsibility of their learning in a
supportive environment.
I am also very excited about the Monday
rotation sessions that I will be running where this term students will have the
opportunity to learn about nutrition and some basic cooking and food
preparation skills. Food and nutrition is another keen interest of mine and I
am especially passionate about giving children an understanding of what is
healthy for their bodies and giving them the skills to be able to prepare something
for themselves in the kitchen. Hopefully this term we as a senior unit will
have a bit of fun with this but also develop some practical skills and
knowledge that will be of benefit in the future.
Please do
not hesitate to contact me via email if you have any queries. I will strive to
address these as promptly and thoroughly as I can.
I hope you
all had a lovely Easter,
Kind Regards
Ellie Clark
