Frankie the Flamingo
We have begun our ukulele adventures! Primary 3/4/5 were really excited to hear they were going to be playing the ukulele on Mondays. They have all been assigned a colourful ukulele each. One Learner was so excited about learning to play the ukulele that she created a ukulele for our class mascot Frankie so he can join in on the fun.
Stay tuned to find out how the class are getting on!

Today we joined up with the ECO group to find out more about Global Goals, how many there are, which organisation runs it, etc.
We identified which of the Goals each of our business groups were focussing on. We became familiar with the aims of the goals and what they mean to us at Alves.
