Good morning Primary 5! I hope you all had a great weekend despite the weather and you are ready for some new learning. The activities for this week are posted below and some of them are available as assignments on the Primary 5 Team. It is up to you when and how you complete the tasks, try to do a little bit of something each day if you can. Friday the 22nd May and Monday 25th May are both holidays so we only have 4 days of learning each week for the next fortnight and a nice long break in the middle to relax!
Thursday is ‘Outdoor Classroom Day’ so many of the tasks this week can be completed outside. I know that you will listen carefully to the adults at home so that you can do this safely and follow the important rules we have in place just now to keep us healthy. Look for this symbol beside the activities that can be done outdoors.
I have posted the help sheet with instructions of how to access Teams again just in case you missed it last time. Remember if you have any trouble getting on to Microsoft teams just comment below or email Mrs Winning and we will help you.
