Hello everyone,
What an eventful first week of March! We have been very impressed with the
inquiry projects and oral presentations. We know the children have been a
little nervous presenting, but you will be proud of how well they do when you
see them yourself on Friday, March 11. We have a very supportive group of grade
5's who offer good questions and comments after the presentations too! Well
done!
Thanks to those families who were able to attend the family dance on
Thursday. It was great fun!
