Around the Classrooms
"My favourite subject is PE because I find that the lessons are engaging, and I like to exert my energy. We are currently learning about Volleyball and how to perform the correct techniques. My teacher makes sure that we all are participating, and he ensures that we all are developing our skills". – Zarah Bradbury
"My favourite subject so far this year is Math because it feels easier this year as I’ve grown. I also have found that the teachers are making lessons more fun and engaging. We are learning about positive and negative integers, but I am looking forward to when we start learning about Pythagoras theorem". – Ethan Weber
