“What a wonderful start to this academic year! The energy is palpable with everyone eager to dive into new subjects, connect with friends and embrace the opportunities that lie ahead. The excitement in the air is contagious as we embark on this journey of learning and growth together. It’s a fresh beginning, full of promise and potential so let’s make the most of this academic year, seizing every moment to learn, grow and create lasting memories!”
After the long break, we’ve taken time to settle back into our school routines, focusing on learning how to learn and reinforcing our school values.
We explored ‘The Colour Monster’ and discussed the various emotions we might experience throughout the day, along with strategies for managing them.
Next week, we’ll begin formal work in our books and we’ve been emphasizing the importance of neat presentation.
