Now what?

Meet the Learning coaches


What?
Yesterday we had a 'Meet the Learning coaches' evening at Ormiston Primary School for caregivers of our learners.

So what?
First each learning coach from our habitat introduced ourselves to the caregivers. Then we spoke about what our day looks like. Thereafter each learning coach spoke about a different learning block for the day. Next we spoke about learning being encouraged to bring in a waste-free healthy lunch. After that we informed the caregivers about what home learning that learners are expected to do. Then we went through our habitat blog & site as well as spoke about devices. Thereafter we went over what PB4L is at our school. Finally we informed parents about our PUDO area which is where they pick up & drop off our learners.

Now what?
We are looking forward to having a great year with our learners & caregivers.
