Good Work winners!

Congratulations this week to Cameron and Cory.

Cameron has been working tremendously hard both at home and at school to improve his “telling the time” skills.  This effort is really starting to pay off .   Well done Cameron! :- ) 

Cory is putting in a greater effort with learning his weekly spellings, and his increasing marks are reflecting this extra work.  His vocabulary range within his writing is consequently improving too.   Keep it up Cory! 🙂
