Home Inquiry
Home Inquiry will commence in Week 3. Home Inquiry is the learning which is requested to be completed at home during the week. More information will be provided about this at PIN and in the newsletter next week. For now, any reading at home, (preferably every night- even just 15 minutes) would be wonderful.
