Students will be introduced to the boomerang through a poster explaining what it is made from, how it is used, which country it originated in and some other interesting facts. I will teach children a step by step guide to drawing a boomerang by modelling this on a virtual whiteboard. First I will draw the outline shape of the boomerang, discussing with children what they think it resembles, e.g. a banana, a rainbow etc. Children will then follow along to draw their own boomerang outline on their paper. Next dot drawing will be modelled on the whiteboard to show children the traditional Aboriginal designs for a boomerang, including the use of different colours, patterns and shapes. Children will then design their own boomerang with dot drawings by initially following my example and then finishing with choosing their own pattern making it individual. Once students have completed their boomerang design, they will be asked to cut it out. It is important this was done on paper to make it easy to cut out. At the end of the class, children will share their boomerangs with the rest of the class and have the opportunity to see if it will 'fly'. If time allows children have the option to make their boomerang heavier and more likely to fly by gluing it to card and cutting it out. This is a fun craft class about designing paper boomerangs.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a qualified teacher of nearly 6 years, with a specialism in teaching Early Years (3-7 year olds), I also have a Masters in Education. Prior to becoming a teacher I was a paediatric nurse for 4 years. I gained my qualifications in England and taught in a primary school for 2 years, before emigrating to Australia in 2017. I now work as a classroom teacher in Australian primary schools. My teaching qualification entitles me to teach up to the age of 18 and I have experience of teaching many high school children through my own successful tutoring business outside of Outschool. As a result of my specialist tutoring all of these children's grades have increased. I love tutoring and it would be my dream to do this full time. Many of my tutoring students come to me for specialist writing support as I am an examination marker for NAPLAN, which is an Australian exam.
I want to make learning fun and exciting for children, my aim is to provide them with enjoyment when learning a new concept. I am a patient teacher and enthusiastic in my approach, yet I also have an excellent knowledge of how to get good results.
The type of classes I enjoy teaching are craft classes for younger primary school children, writing and maths classes for primary and high school students, but my particular passion is individual tutoring, as I love seeing the progress children make. Reviews
