ETE News

2015 has started with great excitement! New teachers for all, new school for Jason, and a brand new, precious, bright little grade one, Tamia Lamb. We now have 7 grade 6’s at Sun Valley Primary. Jason joined the students here, as we felt it would be beneficial for him to start learning in English as he will be moving on to an English speaking high school after grade 7. He has settled in very easily and has adjusted very well indeed. I am SO proud of him! We also have 6 grade 5’s and they seem to all love their new teachers and are meeting the challenge of increased concepts and work load. In grade 4 we have two students, 1 in grade three, 2 in grade two and then Tamia in grade one. All in all, we are 19 ETE children.

How to escape education's death valley by Ken Robinson

Creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson challenges the way we are educating our children. He champions a radical rethink of our school systems, to cultivate creativity and acknowledge multiple types of intelligence.

Congratulations to the Children!

It has been a challenging week for our Grade 4's and 5's as they went into their final assessments for the year. For the first time, Mrs Holmgren facilitated students who are disadvantaged due to learning in a second language. She was able to encourage and “interpret” Maths/English terms for them and watched with pride as they confidently gave their best on each occasion. We are excited to see the results!! So few weeks left of this academic year, it doesn't seem possible that our first group of students will be going into grade 6 next year! Well done all of you!
