Highlight

Selamat sore Independence Centre families!

 

This week through our fraction activities and Maths games, as well as planning our persuasive writing in English, we have shown a lot of enthusiasm and love of learning!

We are excited to be able to use our iPads as a learning tool in the classroom and work together to model our agreed expectations.

 

Have a wonderful week, 

Kathy, Ros, Julia, Mandy, Fatima and Suzie.
