Welcome to Week 2. Last week flew by and we are all grateful for air conditioning in the Senior Unit. As we continue to set ourselves up for the year, we are also beginning to get stuck into some gritty class discussions.
We would also like to encourage you to sign up to our Senior Unit blog so that you can get all the blog updates as they happen as well as an easy quick reference point to look back at if you need anything. Simply, type your email in on the blog where it says 'Follow By Email' press enter and follow the instructions.
Lessons to be learnt from the humble donkey.

Homework
As a baseline for homework in these first few weeks, we would love to see students do the following:
Reading for 10 or so minutes
Spelling (students are given a word list to learn each week based on a theme. It is beneficial for students to complete the spelling work started on Mondays at home throughout the week in preparation for Fridays Test.
Obviously, any discussion at home about what we are learning or doing or any further inquiry that students engage themselves in would be of great benefit to their learning journey.
iPads and IT
Stay tuned to hear more soon about how this will look in our Senior Unit classes and how the Immanuel It boot camp will go with our students.
