A useful guide to help you understand who is who.

A great website for watching videos from all over the world.

The live animal webcams are the best part.

Thank you to Mr. Austin for reading to all the students (more than 120) who came to story time today.

Just a reminder that the end date for RATKS reports to be given to your teacher for Term 1 is this Friday, June 29.

You can still collect prizes after this date but you can't give your teacher anymore reports until next term !

The points you got this term carry on until RATKS finishes next year so you still have LOTS of time !

Happy book reading !

Today, immersion teachers participated in a library workshop; Learning Theory: Perception & Practice.

Mr. Kelly moderated the discussion.  Many teachers shared their understanding of various theories of learning.  We also discussed how learning theory is related to our classroom practices.

It was a very effective and useful discussion. Afterwards, we had tea and some snacks.
