Welcome To Term Two!
We are all very excited about this term, as we will be investigating the topic of 'space'. Along with this wonderful topic we will be encouraging the students to take part in inquiry learning, based on their questions that they will be developing on this subject. Term two also brings assessments. We will be endeavouring to bring you a different style of reporting 'progress and achievement' for your child through an E-Portfolio. This is a huge learning curve for students and teachers alike and we ask in advance your patience and understanding as we explore the possibilities of sharing with you the wonderful work that your child has achieved.Again,we always encourage you as parents to ask questions and communicate with us through notes and or email and we will do our best to answer your queries.
We hope that the students have enjoyed their Easter break and are well rested and are organised with stationery and PE gear ready for a busy term two.
Best Regards from us all.
