Term 4!

Welcome back to Term 4!

It's a very exciting time in the Learning Lions right now. We have worked so hard for three terms and we have started to see some amazing progress in our reading, writing and maths. This term we look forward to building on that success and a few fun things that are coming up around the corner (I won't spoil the surprises just yet though....).

In the first few days back we have done some wonderful work. See this incredible work done by some students (if you look closely you can see their names). They had to make numbers using popsicle sticks. Not only did they do this work, but they took the pictures and made the collages themselves, using the class iPads. Well done!
