Building Connections.In our lives we become individuals who crave connection whether it is connection to other people, to objects, to nature or to our community, like our school. No man's an island said poet John Donne, in the sense that no person stands alone. In this space we will explore different aspects of connection and the ways that we can be ourselves in the context of groups and how we can contribute in a positive manner.

Research time!
Wouldn't it be great if you could travel back in time to see your family and your ancestors? I wish there was a wormhole we could jump into and take that ride. However, you can do some research yourself. Find older family members or friends of the family and involve them in short interview sessions. Gather as much information as you can. Below you will find two documents attached. One will give you ideas on questions you could ask and the other will help you record and visualise it. Then, you can use Flipgrid to record the interviews themselves or report your findings! I can't wait to see your results!
