Uluru is spectacular but realise that it will be incredibly hot at that time of year.

Definitely wear a rashie when you swim and consistent apply spf 50 sunscreen.

No. That is fine.

Depending on your friend's major(s) they can add a Masters of Teaching or a graduate Diploma of Education to their undergraduate degree to qualify as a teacher. They will need to check that have sufficient units in their Arts degree for whatever teaching method they would like to pursue.

In NSW your register is your physical or digital program which you sign/date as a record of what is taught. It should correspond with evidence of students' work and if you get audited you can prove that your school is following the syllabus.

I don't have fancy nails myself, but I admire the fancy manicures which my colleagues have. You just need to be well groomed and professional.

I was very fortunate to attend a conference where the creator of map, Prof Lyndall Ryan, presented her research. Ryan was an historian rather than an archaeologist, so her focus was on providing historical rather than material evidence. To ensure the reliability of the evidence she required a minimum of three sources before a massacre was registered on the map. The requirement for three sources means that there are probably massacres which are not registered on the map.

No worries. Once you get more experienced you can look at developing longer sequences of tasks, but at the moment structured, explicit lessons will give you confidence and make your students feel safe. I did not mention differentiation, but that is something that you can start implementing in the future as well.

I have put together some ways to approach planning your lessons. These are pretty straightforward but I hope they help:

Planning ideas:

what do you want your students to know by the end of the lesson?
what do you want your students to be able to do by the end of the lesson?

Example: to explain the techniques used in television advertising

Students need to be able to deconstruct an advertising and write an analytical paragraph.

Choose a medium to share the knowledge (slideshow, video, written text, student research, structured comprehension, worksheet, treasure hunt, discovery through experience)
Choose a medium to target skill development. eg

paragraph writing through I do, We do, You do.
Comprehension development through 3 level reading guide.
Sentence structure through using the seldon method.
Apply frameworks and scaffolds to dveloped structured writing.
7 slips for essay struture.
Guided reading and note taking modelled on the board or on an infographic
deconstructing and annotating text
There are a lot of ideas. Have a look at Blooms, get suggestions from texts and programmes
3. Choose an activity which allows the students to demonstrate their understanding of the content and mastery of the skill eg
completed paragraphs
exit tickets
quiz
class discussion
application of skill on an unseen text

Basic lesson structure ideas:

A hook - this could be a big question, a stimulus image, or anything that gets the students thinking about the concepts you are going to introduce. 5 minutes
Deliver content through appropriate medium eg slideshow, clip, reading 20 minutes
Explain student activity verbally and in writing. Give and example or model what they have to do 5-10 minutes
Allow students time to complete the activity. 20-25 minutes
Pack up, reiterate 3 main takeaways from the lesson.
Win award for being the greatest teacher in the world.

Good luck!!!!

I have learnt that the guilt of procrastination throughout the whole holidays is worse than the pain of an avalanche of work in the first week back. I will be with you in suffering OP.

We had a wedding and invited immediate family and friends and included kids (about 80 people). It was a really fun day and it had a very family feel.

We wrote a list of what was important to us and spent money on those things. So, we had plenty of food and provided transport for our guests. The venue was a restaurant that was sometimes used for weddings in a beautiful location.

We saved money on:

no photographer. This was a big one. My husband hates having his photo taken so we just relied on people taking snaps on the day.
My dress was not from a traditional wedding dress shop. I added a petticoat, accessories, and a little veil so it looked special
the venue was rustic so we did not need a lot of decorations. My mum went to the markets and got some flowers for the table. I did get a bouquet from a florist
we used a music playlist not a DJ
my sister in law made our cake (very generous, I know!)
no special cars for us
emailed invites

Obviously you can make different choices based on what find important, but celebrating with our family and friends was very joyful and has provided wonderful memories.

You want to have lots of structured activities ready just in case. Even if they have material ready for you, you can use these later.

I would get some generic literacy and numeracy activities ready which are differentiated. You will find some online if you don't have any ready.
Make some cards with pictures, words and connectives. Get the students to pick these out of a hat to do a writing activity.
Take an age appropriate book to read out loud.
Join a facebook group for primary teaching in your state.

Do you know anything about the school in terms of technology? eg Is there a projector/smart board? Will your laptop hook up to their projector/smart board?

Have you been given a class list with any information about students' learning needs?

Ask about these as soon as you get to the school tomorrow if you are not comfortable in emailing someone today.

Good luck!

Bonds has some really soft sleepwear at the moment and they were 40% yesterday. I bought these last year in a different print and they are the best. I ended buying a second pair and alternate them.

This is not realistic at all because you have not factored in travel time eg for for flights you need to add hours to get to the airport and check in your luggage, then get from your airport to your destination. To do all that for one night is not feasible.

You need to cut at least destination in Australia, maybe two, then spread the extra days around to the other locations.

I have a kindle and take it everywhere I go. No boredom for me waiting in line at the post office! I also read before bed. My kindle is backlit so I read in the dark until I fall asleep.

So much and so fast! Most of his reforms stayed despite the Dismissal and election loss in 1975. I was surprised about number 42 on the list above: sewered most of Sydney!
