Good morning P4. I hope you all had a great weekend and kept yourselves busy. We had lots of fun building lego, going for walks and Eva painted a stone to add to the caterpillar trail in Dunlop.
This morning your assignments will go live at 9am and I will be on here between 10-11am and 2-3pm to answer any questions you have regarding work or if you just need a chat. They do not need to be completed until Wednesday giving you a few days to complete. Tuesday and Wednesday’s assignments will go live at 9am tomorrow. Remember to do what you can when you can.
The ‘Scotland Rocks’ competition begins today. It is active from 2-7pm from today until Thursday 11th June. I have attached a PowerPoint explaining the rules of the competition. I have also uploaded the leaderboard from last week to give you a bit of a boost. This is not from the competition- this is what it looked like from last week with the people who tried it out.
Have fun and good luck.

HWB- Joyful June
Write down three things that you are grateful for. These could be people, pets, where you live or some activities you have been doing. You could produce a poster or write them down as bullet points with some images. It is totally up to you. Sometimes we can focus on the negative things and forget about all the things we should be thankful for. Have Fun!
