🌎 History is filled with great explorers, from Captain Cook to Vasco de Gama to Yuri Gagarin, those who made their names by discovering special places.

The first Whole School Writing Day of 2024 follows in this proud tradition as students will reflect on the places that are dearest to their hearts.

✔️ 1st-4th graders will write a short story about favourite places at home, school, and other venues where they most enjoy spending their time.
✔️ 5th-7th graders will write an email to a friend describing a place that is special to them and who they share that place with.
✔️ 8th-9th graders will write an email to a friend sharing the memory of the most beautiful place they have ever visited and nominating a place they would like to visit in the future.
✔️ 10th-11th graders will analyse data and discuss which parts of their country people would like to visit most, propose one potential problem that can come from travelling in your native country then suggest a solution to this problem.

With a new year ahead of all of us, we hope this deeply personal theme inspires students to revisit the places, faces and moments that have made them who they are.
