Welcome Woodside Parents

I would like to welcome parents and students to my blog.

Hopefully this will give you some guidance when helping your child at home on the computer. 

There are educational links on the side of the page under the title  Educational Websites for Kids

This upcoming week we will be continuing our learning on castles and The Three Little Pigs. Can your child retell the story? Here is one of the many versions of the story.....




Also, here are the phonics phases sounds with links to the specific phase.

Have fun learning!!

London living

Wow! It has been way too long since my last post and much has happened. I have settled into my new school now but I am still getting use to how things are done.  My blog is sadly blocked from the school server so I can not use it with my students.  I am very lucky to work alongside 3 other great teachers and we all teach the same year/grade. Here is some vocabulary differences that I am getting use to......

Canada England

Pants -Trousers
Period (.) -Full stop
Garbage can -Bin
Garbage -Rubbish
Dollar -Pound
Friend -Mate
Thank you -Cheers
Grade -Year


In my new school our school year is split up into 3 terms. Each term has a half term break which means that we get a week off school. Our half term break was last week so I went to beautiful Ireland. It was really exciting to visit ancient castles and to see mesmerizing scenic views.

P.s I am coming home for Christmas and I cannot wait :). 6 more weeks!


Here are some pictures from Ireland.
