Lots of learning...

We have been busy with lots of mid-year assessments and we are seeing that our kids - are learning!! You may have noticed that you child is getting spelling words that may be a bit harder - that is because they are demonstrating that they are learning and remembering the words from their lists! Keep studying and working hard!
