QUOTE OF THE WEEK INSIDE THE CLASSROOM To support the Year Three classes, the students have been working on a Snakes and Ladders game (Penance Edition) that highlights using your conscience to make good choices and obviously sometimes not making the best of choices. Once they have finished, we will spend some time with the Year Three classes and play the games. A few very good examples are below. SPEAK OUT Just a reminder that the 'Speak Out' presentations begin on Friday with the first 5 students presenting. For more information, please refer to the English folder in the Content Library on One Note. PROBLEM OF THE WEEK Have a go at this week's problem with your child.
