"The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows."
- Sydney J. Harris
The school year has begun, and we have completed our first full week. The homeroom teachers and single subject teachers have developed a classroom
essential agreement and established routines. Teachers and students have spent time getting to know each other to begin to develop some rapport. Classes started their first unit of inquiry, so there is much excitement in the air as the students begin investigating and inquiring into their areas of interest. The playground is a buzz of excitement during play times with the basketball court available as well as the new blackboards that children are free to use. The change in the timetable has meant that the primary students have all the play areas to themselves during these play times. On Friday afternoon Y3.1 (Mrs Withington) class prepared our first school assembly on identifying heroes which ended the week on a high note.
Week two promises to be just as exciting as this first week. On
Wednesday 26th August (for Early Years students K1- Y2) and
Thursday 27th August (for Junior Years students Y3 - Y6) from 6:00pm to 7:00pm there will be an evening parent orientation for all families in the Main Hall. Information regarding this event is in the parent handbook which is available on the school website. This evening includes valuable information about school policies and procedures, a presentation by your child’s teacher about classroom procedures and events, and an introduction to the Primary Years Programme by the Primary Leadership Team. I look forward to seeing you there.
