Welcome Back to 2020 Term 1
First Day
Welcome back to Term 1 2020
I am really looking forward to teaching Year 5/6 children in my class this year. The children were very excited to be back to school today. They are looking forward to learning new things and be better than before. It was a very hot day today but all the children were happy and enjoyed the first day back to school.

Lotus as a metaphor for teaching and learning
I refer to the lotus flower as a metaphor in teaching and learning. The lotus flower has its roots in muddy water, but the lotus flower rises above the mud to bloom clean and fragrant.
A fully blooming lotus flower signifies enlightenment, while a closed bud represents a time before enlightenment. Sometimes a flower is partly open, with its center hidden, indicating that enlightenment is beyond ordinary sight.
The mud nourishing the roots represents our messy human lives. It is in the midst of our human experiences and our suffering that we seek to break free and bloom. But while the flower rises above the mud, the roots and stem remain in the mud, where we live our lives.
Rising above the mud to bloom requires great Faith in oneself, in the practice, and in teaching. So, along with purity and enlightenment, a lotus also represents faith. Have faith and keep going so we can be better than before.
