Curriculum and Classroom

As we approach the final week of term, we continue to enjoy a range of flexible learning experiences. A highlight this week was welcoming grandparents into our Year 1 classrooms. They had the opportunity to reflect on and share memories of their own school days with our students. While many things have changed over the years, some have remained reassuringly familiar. Our students thoroughly enjoyed discussing their writing, sharing dioramas that illustrated how animals live in various habitats and what they need to survive, and demonstrating how technology and iPads can engage and enhance their learning.
