Grade 6
Remote Learning News, Term 3
Who can believe it is the last week of term and we are three quarters of the way through the school year. We have been very proud of the independence and attention to detail you have shown throughout this term, BUT, we are not done yet. There are two weeks of remote learning to go, so let's smash it!
|
Remember to extend the detail and amount in any written work wherever you can.
