Amara is working above the expected standard in Geography and has had an excellent term. Highlights this term include reading and drawing maps and understanding weather and climate. She approaches every task with excellent effort and determination. Amara is a polite and cooperative member of the class. To make further progress, she should focus on describing patterns on maps and graphs. At home, discussing weather forecasts together would help. I commend Amara on an outstanding term and encourage her to keep challenging herself.
