Another exciting day in Grade 2, the students today have been wonderful!

The students emulated our classroom display by drawing/writing how they have shown these traits and attitudes. This activity took a large amount of time as a prior-discussion was held for each ‘Profile’ and ‘Attitude’ to ensure understanding. As you can see the students ‘dug-deep’ and reflected well on their actions. The students made a great effort on this piece of work and it will be added to our classroom display.

Student Work


The students also had gym with Mr. H in the morning and House Games after 1st lunch and recess.

After 2nd lunch and recess, the students had French with Mademoiselle Jessica and then completed their agendas before dismissal.

Important information to note:
1.       Students are able to choose any book of their liking for their reading homework.
2.       BBQ forms were handed out at dismissal – my sincere apologies for the confusion!
3.       Uniform information provided for reference.
4.       ‘Spirit Dress Up’ in house colours is tomorrow (KIP – Orange, ZBP – Green, TSP – Blue). The students are to wear the colour as best as they can, whether that be just a single item of clothing or from head to toe (jeans are permitted).
5.       Friendly reminders – The last page of the student handbook needs to be signed, the final page of the ‘Welcome Letter’ complete and returned and the ‘Trip’ response form also completed and returned.

Thank you and have a wonderful evening everyone!
