Well ....it's been a hectic last two weeks. EAL classes have been off and on, as so much was happening in the classrooms. A point to remember for next year! We managed though to say goodbye to our students, at least for this year.
I am very proud of our students, many of whom arrived in September with very little and in some cases, no English at all. Many of them are now communicating confidently in English and are willing to take risks in order to improve further. We wish them all the very best as they move onwards in their school careers.
We say a very special goodbye to Erica who has truly been the thread of consistency in the EAL classroom throughout the whole year. Erica will be returning to New Zealand at the end of the summer. Her contribution has been amazing; not only in her capacity as assistant for EAL but also in her running of the Junior school Eco Club programme. She will be very much missed by all of us.
So, until we all come together again in September...... I wish all of you an enjoyable, restful summer holiday.
Warm wishes,
Katherine Bradford
