WELCOME BACK EVERYONE!

I hope you all had a wonderful restful holiday and are ready to learn, learn, learn. Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow and hear all your stories. 

This term our concept is Exploration. We will be inquiring into why we explore and what it means to explore. Students will have the opportunity to try learning some new skills that they have never tried before. This also links to our focus value for the term - Wonder.
