All the students in syndicate three have had a great start to the term and there has been a lot of great learning taking place . Teachers realy enjoyed meeting parents at the end of last term as we believe that the learning triangle child, teacher and parent is such an important partnership. I know all the teachers are looking forward to Term Two !!!!

You would of now recieved your letter home with your usernames and passwords. It would be great of you could jump onto Knowledge Net and give your child feedback about their piece of work as I know they would love to read your thoughts. Classes should have work completed on this by end of week two.
