Maple Class

We are so fortunate to have the beach in such close proximity to our school. Over the past couple of weeks, Maple class have enjoyed using this fantastic learning resource to enhance their learning. We have covered many aspects of the curriculum, including art, team work, problem-solving as well…

Welcome back!

We have had a great first week back at school in our new class!
