Great work Glenn! I will be sharing your post with my students tomorrow. They would be very interested in hearing what students from the other side of the world are doing to contribute.
What wonderful sentiments from our Yr 5 students. I can't wait to meet you all when I visit your classroom tomorrow to talk to you about the wonderful contribution you have made. This is the start of something great Yr 5 - I can feel it!
The Bushfire Appeal Fair was a huge success. Not only because the children were able to raise over $2700, but also because of what they were able achieve by working together, with all members of the school community, for selfless cause. All the st...
I second that motion. I'm planning to blog a bit about the collective efforts of students and teachers that are being reflected in this community. Can't wait to hear what you all accomplish.
Can't wait to read those reflections Glenn and start working with your class to help them understand the connected world we are living in. Great to have you here with us.

Hi everyone,
I'm looking forward to sharing the experiences of my year 5 class with you all, and getting my students motivated by all the work done by their fellow global classmates.

Inspiring achievements
The Bushfire Appeal Fair was a huge success. Not only because the children were able to raise over $2700, but also because of what they were able achieve by working together, with all members of the school community, for selfless cause. All the stalls were completely organised by the children, and it was fantastic to see so many parents, teachers and students from the Senior School (High School) pitching in.

Toorak Junior School launches into the Bushfire Appeal
On Thursday 19th our Junior School children are doing their best to Make A Difference by organising, funding and holding their own Bushfire Appeal Fair, with all proceeds being dontated to help the victims of the the recent Victorian Bushfires. The overwhelming flood of support the children wanted to show has lead to this fantastic event, and I look forward to posting some of the reflections from my year 5 class.

- Hi Glenn-
Laura was really excited to do this! Thanks for having her! Everyone at Toorak is always so hospitable and welcoming. She's eager to do again sometime!

Cheers Nina

I discovered the Charter for Compassion this weekend too when they sent me an email encouraging me to tweet about their project's aims. I did this. Here's the link for the Australian vieo that was compiled to support their cause; http://bit.ly/3yKfZJ
Angela, your post is very helpful to me at this point. I am spending a great deal of time with my students talking about non-negotiables such as respect, citizenship, and cooperation. We are making progress, but I have been looking for something e...
Over the weekend, I had a very long conversation with someone I love about the wars that have been waged over religion. It was suggested that no wars are ever truly about this but that religious differences always provide a convenient cover story ...
Katie, I can understand exactly where you are coming from. There is so much happening here right now and I would love to be getting more of the students from my school involved, but our reality is that we are hitting wind down. Like you, my hopes ...
Were you inspired to write this after reading Mrs. Leach's poem Stephanie?
That is the plan. Being aware they have an audience beyond the classroom should become a positive for them. Some of my Year 10 students were discussing a personal blog set up by one of them this morning. They were distracted from their assignment ...
I love the last line. Shakespeare often wrote about immortalization through verse in his sonnets and this is what I am reminded of in the last stanza. The Global Poetry Project has just welcomed another genius. Please continue to share your poetry...
I love the second stanza. While standing for and hoping for are both essential at different times, it all boils down to being proactive or reactive. This poem has captured a universal human instance. The direct address left me feeling uncomfortabl...
"They are not used to using these forums in the school setting and many are savvy enough to realise it will make them more accountable in demonstrating productivity for the course."
You know, I can remember when Laura first started her 25 Days to...
Great rhyme and rhythm in this piece. Tricky to pull off--great work! Great message!
The students have had some great ideas but we have struggled to get them off the ground. One that seems to be coming together is an initiative to raise awareness of the Zaidee Rainbow Foundation. This foundation encourages others to donate their o...
Hi Stephanie,
I really like the rhyme scheme in this poem. It reminds me of some of the poetry of a man called William Butler Yeats. He wrote in the same style and his poems often dealt with weighty issues, as yours does. This poem makes me consi...
I completely and utterly agree with this. I see so many people who have so called "good" values and morals in life look at others as though they are the scum of the earth because they were born differently than them. It's not right that so many pe...
If the battle cry is given,
and the drums of war begin,
would you fight to save the peaceful,
or let the grief sink in?
Would you stand for all you know,
if the price became to steep?
Or would you swallow all your worries,
and hope to hell they l...
I really appreciate the subtle point you make about the ways in which we judge people based upon what they do or do not accomplish. People who don't finish school do lose quite a bit of status in our world, but I can think of so many people who ha...
Hmmmm....and I'm wondering...is it possible to make the world a better place without making ourselves better? And is it possible to make ourselves better without making the world better? I'm really curious about how you would answer this, Kathryn....
Catherine---Wow. This is like a much needed slap in the face ; ) What a great example of how we can use poetry to make necessary statements and illuminate serious issues. Provocative.
