Grade One Students - Successful Learners producing quality work.

Grade One students have been very busy last week. In addition to the book character parade and the Disco, grade one students also managed to complete their animal projects and present an item to our school assembly. The grade one students item was titled "The Science of Music" and it was a practical demonstration of the collaboration of between music and science. Well done everyone involved. We are always promoting the idea of "quality work" and being a "successful learner" and
I think the grade one students are on this journey. Mr Doyle sent me this little summary of what successful learners do...I hope you like it.WEll done grade 1.
