Dear Students and Parents,
Our first week back at school for the year and it has been a great week..
It was a real pleasure working with the Grade 6 students this week. We completed a number of great learning engagements designed to help us get to know each other and re establish positive learning routines. Among other things, this week saw students thinking critically about setting up our essential agreements as a class and looking at how we as a grade 6 learning community will strive to make the class a positive, inclusive, challenging, supportive learning environment. Please see a copy of these as the feature image for this post.
This week students have joined in their first specialist subjects, Music, PSPE and Art and are getting to know their teachers again as well as new grade level expectations. For more information about what learning took place and what we did this week, please ask your children to explain; they are a great source of knowledge and talking about what they have done only helps to solidify their learning.
Please see the link below to see a review of this week in pictures. These images can be a starting point for some interesting conversations as you talk with your children about all they have done this week. I am sure they will be very happy to share the details with you.
