Collaborative Yarns

At Margaret Hendry School, we embrace the opportunity to run Collaborative Yarns. The purpose of these 10 minute collaborative yarns is to provide families with an opportunity to meet face to face with your child's teacher to:

• Discuss learning progress for your child
• Outline next steps in learning and share learning celebrations and samples of work
• Receive a comprehensive term calendar of events and information about Seesaw

What if my child/children go between two homes?

Families are welcome to book a time together or separately depending on your circumstances. There will be a separate email sent to both family homes. If you don't receive this, please contact reception.

Who will be part of the collaborative yarn?

Families, children and teachers.

Do I need to come along?

Summative reports provide a snapshot of learning and growth. Collaborative yarns provide an opportunity for teachers to expand on the summative report, provide evidence of learning and talk about the child as a wholistic learner. This is a great chance for families to ask questions and connect face to face with teachers about learning and social and emotional development. If you cannot attend face to face, please email your home teacher to arrange a virtual meet.

Specialist Teachers (PE, Music, Library, Digital Technology)

Specialist teachers will also be available for consultation during the collaborative yarn period. To book a meeting with them please phone the front office directly on 02 6142 2800 or email: Margarethendry@ed.act.edu.au.
