Volume 23: 24 February 2017

Why is this here?

We have a challenge for you. We believe learning is important. Explaining our learning and why we are learning something is equally important. So, our challenge is this week's blog is ONLY photographs from the week. You must be wondering, How will I understand what is going on? Have no fear, we will explain it to you! Your child will ask you to sit with them and they will take charge - they will explain the learning that is occurring in each photograph. We encourage you to ask us tough questions, like... What did you learn? Why did you learn this? What mistakes did you make? How did you fix them? What is your new understanding now? How does what you learned connect to real-life? 

Without further adieu, enjoy this week in photographs:) Oh, and there's the usual Homework part as well!

Homework
