Learning and Teaching 

Dear Parents ,

 

Welcome back to 2024. I hope you all had a great holiday and it's lovely to see our students settle well  into their new learning spaces. 

 

When Staff returned on Monday we read What We'll Build by Oliver JeffersIt portrays how together we can build an inclusive world where we can have a home and feel safe while also allowing our imaginations to soar about where we can go and who we can be.

 

Returning to school is an opportunity to ‘reboot’ and refresh - to ask ourselves and our students important questions about the kind of learners we want to be and the kind of learning community we want. 

 

Over the coming weeks, classes will read “What We’ll Build” to stimulate their thinking about building a classroom community. This text is about hope and about agency. The agency we all have to  consciously and thoughtfully build our future together. 

 

Here is what the staff hope to build this year:

 

 

You may like to read this with your children.

Kind regards
