What If?
This week I was reminded
of this poem that appeared
on social media last year.
Whilst things are certainly
tough right now, it
encourages us to consider
the positives that may come
from this for our children in
the future.

French Toast Breakfast This week we made French toast at the hive! The students prepared and cooked delicious French toast using
the eggs from the school chickens, cinnamon, and milk.
Before we began…This morning we collected all the ingredients and materials required before we began. We
placed the eggs, the cinnamon, vanilla, and the milk into a bowl.
Once all the ingredients were in the bowl…All the students had a turn at mixing the ingredients in the bowl.
The students showed excellent fairness and taking turns.
Next steps…Together we took turns submerging the bread into the batter until it softened. The older students
supported the younger students to engage in the process.
Batter is ready…After the batter was prepared by the students, it was time to cook! With the support of an
educator the students observed the students placing the coated bread into a pan. We discussed safety and the
students had a turn at flipping their pieces of French toast.
French toast ready to eat…While the French toast was cooking, the students set the table with plates, cutlery
and condiments for the French toast. Once the French toast was ready and cooked, all the students sat together
to enjoy breakfast. They displayed excellent table manners and sharing! It was a great experience.
Have you met our new Educator?
Hi, my name is Peter and I'm one of the educators at the Hive. I've completed my associates degree of education at Deakin University and now I'm currently enrolled in my second year at Deakin studying a bachelor of primary education. I've always been fascinated with the education industry and becoming a primary school teacher. I value teaching as a rewarding career because of the endless learning opportunities and the valuable friendships you develop with staff, students, and the school community. I hope to become an inspiring role model and mentor to young children, and that my teaching career will have a positive and meaningful impact on the lives of students for the future. In my leisure time, I enjoy playing sports, listening to music, and socialising with friends. Kind Regards,
Peter 😊
My name is Ella and I am one of the new educators at the Hive! I am currently
in my second year at Deakin, studying a bachelor of primary education.
Working with children has always been a strong passion of mine, and the path
to becoming a teacher has been strongly inspired by my dad along with past
teachers from my time at school. I can’t wait to become a teacher so I can
inspire, support and motivate my future students. In my spare time I enjoy
going to the gym, spending time with my friend and flying home to visit my
family in Tasmania when possible. I am so excited to be a part of the Hive
community and look forward to getting to know everyone!
Kind Regards,
Ella
