Welcome back to the 2nd semester.

We have some fun & interesting topics coming up  which we will read about and discuss.

  •   Lots of things to help motivate and inspire interests in a whole range of different areas, such as starting up a new and exciting or interesting hobby. 
  • Learn about people who were the first to achieve  a goal that led others to follow and emulate. The students in 5D are very smart, and who knows where their talents will lead them!
