Year 2 recently hosted their 'How we express ourselves' Mini-Exhibition, showcasing their exploration of storytelling through the lines of inquiry: 

• Stories are told in different ways (Form), 

• The purpose of stories (Function), and 

• Stories are interpreted in different ways (Perspective). 

Learners shared their creative projects, celebrating diverse storytelling traditions and perspectives, and highlighting the purpose and impact of stories across cultures. It was an inspiring display of curiosity, creativity, and connection!

We had an explosion of Maths activities in the Primary School on Friday, 17 Jan. Thank you so much to all the parents, grandparents and other caregivers that came to join us.

It was a glorious afternoon of learning chaos with children authentically sharing their learning with the important adults in their life.

Last Thursday and Friday, we celebrated the Lunar New Year with engaging activities, including traditional Chinese calligraphy, paper cutting, and shuttlecock kicking. Learners and staff dressed in traditional clothing or in gold and red, symbolizing the festive spirit, and the whole school community came together to enjoy vibrant lion and dragon dance performances.

In primary assemblies, students enjoyed storytelling sessions about Lunar New Year traditions and a captivating Chinese Yo-Yo performance. In secondary, we experienced wushu, pipa, traditional dances, and songs, while also learning how the Lunar New Year is celebrated in Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean communities.

These activities offered our learners a meaningful opportunity to deepen their understanding of this important cultural celebration. The blend of diversity and shared traditions fostered greater connection and brought our community closer together.
