It was nice to welcome back all the children today along with many new freckles that were acquired over the long sunny weekend!  I hope everyone enjoyed the break.

I have asked the children to do a small bit of reading for Friday and to create some questions related to their text.  Further details are written in each child’s diary.

Health and Wellbeing

The children have been learning how their actions can change the way someone is feeling and how they can have a positive impact.  They have been set a challenge to display an act of kindness towards someone else within their class Friendship Circle.  They are encouraged to discuss this at home and share what they did and why.  Perhaps they can perform additional acts of kindness for their family!

Rehearsals continue and showtime creeps closer.  Please see the previous post for information on show costumes.

Primary 4 will perform in the school show on the evening of Wednesday 6th June and the afternoon and evening of Thursday 7th June.  We anticipate that all pupils will be attending both evening shows in order to make the show a success. Please notify me of any issues.

Comfortable shoes
