Hello Grade 5 Families,

Please keep an eye out for an email from me this afternoon outlining some of the next steps for our learning adventures. I will also be phoning students over the next couple of days to check in and respond to any questions from the email. You need to know that you are missed at school but we are really excited about what lies ahead for us and will be sharing details with you this coming week.
