From the Instructional Specialist

We hope you enjoyed the opportunity to look through your child's English and Maths books last week. It was wonderful to see you engage with their work, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to write thoughtful comments. We are incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication your children have shown this term.

 

Please remember that the books offer only a glimpse into the rich learning experiences happening in our classrooms every day. In addition to written tasks, our students participate in hands-on, play-based activities, explore concepts through technology, and engage in collaborative oral discussions.

 

We'd also like to provide a friendly reminder about our homework, please see table below:
