Stirring Stuff
Samwise’s inspirational speech to Frodo, um, about the overwhelming changes we’re presently experiencing as educators and the reasons why we must continue to support each other,and persevere, despite the exhaustion, the despair, and the almost insurmountable obstacles we’re facing etc. Yep, one day all this angst will be just another story.
Can’t be certain, but I think Samwise teaches Year 6 – 8 and (going by his state of exhaustion), Mr Frodo is either Year 10 or New Entrants.
Instructions for Effective Viewing: Shoulders back, head up, suck that stomach in (more), affect a noble stance, gaze bravely into the distance, and hold the hair drier at arms length to get that heroic, windblown look.

Yeah, I am actually making up the story as I go along. I have a few plans for the future, but other than that, I find it much easier to let my imagination run free while writing!

Wow what a great blog, I travelled here from far blue yonder – no really – followed a few hyperlinks from NZC Online and was inspired by the “You have a message” post and video, I am an early childhood teacher currently facilitating in centres. Love this link from collaboration of teachers to Lord of the Rings. I’m also enjoying catching up on your previous posts, thanks for sharing! Would love to see more of your posts sometime soon.
Cheers
