Grade 3 Assembly

-
On Wednesday 27 November 2019 the Grade 3 learners will host an assembly from 15:00 - 15:30 in the MPR. For this assembly, we would like to invite parents to be a part of the learning we are doing in our current How We Organise Ourselves unit. The assembly will showcase a provocation activity (for learners and parents to take part in) that is meant to disrupt and provoke our thinking on  how goods are exchanged . We hope you will enjoy the opportunity to experience learning as Grade 3 does in class and gain some insight into the value of these provocation activities. A further showcase of our entrepreneurial activities during this unit will take place at the DSKI Christmas market.

Learning from home in our virtual classroom

-
Dear Grade 3 families, We are now completing our first full week of learning online. It has been challenging and exciting and (I think) at times a little confusing. I really, really appreciate all your support as we adjust to our current circumstances. I wanted to say how proud I am of Grade 3 learners. They have shown themselves to be independent and Thinkers. I have seen some truly impressive and insightful work being shared over the past week. I am also impressed at how well and how quickly learners have developed the technology skills required to communicate and succeed in a virtual classroom. Stay stay, stay happy and health. I hope to see everyone again soon.
