Anning Class Contract
Anning Class Contract
By giving Anning learners a voice in creating their own academic and social agreements, Anning classroom rules were transformed into shared community commitments. This student-centered approach builds a foundation of mutual respect, boosts engagement, and nurture essential self-regulation skills for a safe, inclusive learning space where every voice matters.

Anning Class stepped into the shoes of literacy detectives to unpack Lubna and Pebble by Wendy Meddour. Working collaboratively, pupils investigated the text to uncover key theme words, explore their deeper meanings, and share their insights with peers. This hands-on activity not only strengthened core reading comprehension and vocabulary acquisition, but also helped children connect with complex themes like empathy, friendship, and resilience.
Inquiry : How Communities Express their identity.
The vibrant colours and images on this student poster reflects how our youngest community members view the Gurdwara, not just as a place of worship, but as a welcoming home for everyone. In Sikh tradition, the Gurdwara is built with four doors facing North, South, East, and West, symbolizing that people from all walks of life, cultures, and backgrounds are equally welcome.

Performing Arts
Anning students recently stepped into the quiet yet expressive world of mime during an engaging Drama lesson designed to push their non-verbal communication skills to the limit. Striped of speech and reliance on props, students learned to convey stories, emotions, and physical environments using purely body language, precise gestures, and facial expressions. By working collaboratively to build imagined spaces and maintain spatial awareness, the young performers demonstrated impressive focus and creative control, bringing silent narratives to life across the room.
