Welcome to P5 everyone
We are very happy to see learners from P5 back from the holiday and adjusting well to their new class. We started our school year with ‘We Are Linguists ‘ IDL.
During the first week at school learners were busy creating rules for our class, talking about children’s rights and learning their new routines.
Our second week was filled with learning about France, French artists, landmarks and practises of French language in a song and in short conversations.
During the third week we worked hard on literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing assessments.
This term we will continue working on our ‘We are Linguists’ IDL till 19th September 2024 and then move on to ‘Our Future World’ IDL which will last from Sept 24th until Nov 14th.
