Many thanks to everyone for attending our K/1 Storyline Culmination, The Tree. Your children worked so hard during this storyline, and their enthusiasm and hard work paid off in a wonderful display of all they learned and participated in. As you all know, Storyline is a long process where children are immersed in the experience of living a story through their chosen character and learning a lot about a subject during the course of the storyline. Our culmination gives our young ones the opportunity to "shine" and share their knowledge with you and others who might attend. When we watch them prepare for the culmination, and see the excitement (and perhaps a little nervousness!) that emerges as the culmination approaches, well, that tells us that all their hard work was worth it! Whenever we give children the forum to perform in front of others, we know we are helping your children become more confident as presenters and young people. And when they see the support they receive from family, friends, and their school community, it can't help but assist them in their emotional growth as members of this wonderful community.

Thanks again for coming, and enjoy the photos!

Jane and Caroline
