Happy Chuseok to you all! We have had a busy week in Year 1/2 with lots of fun learning happening. We started the week with our new unit “Super Humans” in IPC.

Dear Parents, What a lovely first day we had in Year 1/2. It was so nice to meet the children, old students and new! We spent time learning about our routines, the importance of working together, being a “Class Family” and working collaboratively. I think we are going to have a great year together. Indoor Shoes May I ask for students to bring indoor shoes to school if they haven’t already. Something like these would be perfect. It keeps the classroom nice and clean as we often sit in different areas on the floor in our classroom. Thank you 🙂 … Mrs. Sim’s Weekly Update – Term 1 Week 0
