Over the last two weeks, our Early Elementary team has been working with Dr. Linda Henke. Dr. Henke has a wealth of experience in many school settings and has a particular interest and expertise in developing a capability and love for deeper learning in our youngest children.

Even in the context of 2020-2021, this week has been a particularly challenging one. But we got through it.

Today marks the end of our second semester. We are halfway through this academic year and the first year of our SDG-inspired interdisciplinary approach to learning.

It is challenging work at times but it is exciting for us to be working alongside our students as we create a new normal.

All three of our grade level Transition Days went very well from both student connection and safety points of view.

We go to the break not quite having finished the first semester. At the end of January we will have got to the halfway mark of the year.
