Grade 5 Exhibition
What is so wonderful about our planet?
What would you like to share with future generations?
Dear Colleagues, Parents, Students,
Grade 5 is starting its preparations for the Exhibition (“Sharing The Planet”). As we start to discuss the act of sharing the planet with our students, we’re first going to tune in to what we’re sharing.
We’re asking them, you, anyone who passes through the Grade 5 hallway to contribute to our inspiration wall that asks all and sundry what you love about our planet, what you’d like people to know about, what you imagine passing on to our descendants. Have a look; share a thought. We would love to see the world, and show the world to our students, through your eyes.
Grade 5 Team

The ISA Testing Schedule is linked here for you see when and where you will be ISA’ing.
Have a lovely holiday!
