Grade 3 Weekly Update

Good afternoon G3 Parents and Families, 

Tuesday morning the kids enjoyed having loads of fun taking part in the #KahootCup2022. Which was a Global Pop Culture Trivia game of Kahoot played by students from all over the world covering questions about things like movies, music, sports, superheroes and lots more. A wonderful reminder  that we are all united by Pop Culture icons like Baby Shark, Black Panther and Taylor Swift. Most importantly we are more alike than we are different!
