1. Just a reminder that on the 28th of May we will be having our Student Led Conferences. This will be a no-school day, except for when you come in with your child.You will receive later in the week, an invitation to choose a time slot to come into school and visit your child’s classroom. Your child will share with you some learning centres they will already have set up, based on what they have been doing in class. These will be activities and learning experiences the students have enjoyed during the units of inquiry. The students will be taking responsibility for leading discussions, and also for their learning by sharing the process with parents.
