Aztec Class

Welcome to the Aztec Class, where we are all 'Happy Aspirational Learners'!

This year, we're diving into a journey of discovery. Our first two modules, Who We Are, are all about exploring ourselves, our families, and our unique backgrounds. We'll be looking at our emotions and how they shape our interactions with others. In Module 3 and 4 learning changes to encompass 'How we organise ourselves'. We will be focusing on how teamwork helps us get along and be successful in all communities.

Along the way, we'll continue with our specialist lessons and engage in enrichment activities designed to help us understand our emotions and build strong social skills. It's going to be a year of fun, discovery, and growth. We can't wait to see what we learn together!
