[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Recent Learning in Action sessions\u00a0gave parents a clear and meaningful view of teaching and learning across all year groups. Families stepped into classrooms, experienced lessons first-hand, and saw how students engage and progress. The initiative continues to strengthen the connection between school and home by giving families a direct view of the classroom environment and teaching approaches.<\/p>\n

In Grade 5, students took part in Performing Arts with\u00a0Ms\u00a0Grigg. They sang together and performed on stage, showing confidence and expressive skills. The lesson helped students develop communication and stage presence in a supportive setting.<\/p>\n

In Grade 4, students joined a hands-on Art and Design lesson with\u00a0Mr\u00a0York. They built three-dimensional structures using cardboard and applied mathematical thinking throughout the process. They measured and evaluated their designs, developing precision, problem-solving, and spatial awareness.<\/p>\n

Grade 2 and 3 students took part in a badminton lesson focused on serving.\u00a0They explored two different techniques and used patience and self-reflection to improve their skills.\u00a0Some parents joined the session and enjoyed taking part alongside the students.<\/p>\n

Strong foundations in early years<\/h3>\n

In the lower primary and early years, students continued to build strong foundations. Grade 1 students joined a German lesson with\u00a0Ms\u00a0Schappert, where they\u00a0practised\u00a0vocabulary and used language in interactive ways.\u00a0Kiga\u00a02 students worked with\u00a0Ms\u00a0Zdobylak\u00a0to develop their German through play-based learning.<\/p>\n

Kiga\u00a01 students took part in an integrated Reading and Art lesson with\u00a0Ms\u00a0Schmidt, combining early literacy with creative expression. In Pre-K,\u00a0Ms\u00a0Klopfenstein\u00a0led an Art session that encouraged exploration, imagination, and fine motor development in a calm and nurturing environment.<\/p>\n

A closer connection with families<\/h3>\n

Across the school, teachers delivered engaging and well-structured lessons that reflected strong practice and care. Parents shared\u00a0very positive\u00a0feedback and appreciated the opportunity to\u00a0observe\u00a0lessons directly and better understand their children\u2019s learning.<\/p>\n

Learning in Action continues to strengthen trust and build a strong partnership between school and home.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
