A trip down memory lane - a reflection on my NAPP journey hui experience in 2012

Wow, what a find! Thanks so much Jane for capturing my reflection on the hui.

Wow, this is a precious clip... showing me in our place, our space, our class! I also love the creativity, the way the story is told... the shots, the angles, the capturing of me in my class space...

I'm no longer there, the class is no longer there, the school is no longer there. On this very spot, a Countdown Supermarket is currently being constructed!

So many precious memories... the couch, the stand-up bank tables, the learning walls, the tent, the bottle bivy, the ever evolving learning journey...
