Good morning Primary 5! I hope you all had a super weekend. Today marks ‘World Oceans Day’ where people around the world celebrate and honour the oceans that connect them all. The theme for this year is preventing plastic pollution and encouraging solutions for a healthy ocean. If you would like to find out more follow the link below.
I have posted some activities for you to try this week and some of them are related to World Oceans Day so that we can raise our awareness of the importance of looking after our oceans.
As usual I will be waiting to hear from you on the Primary 5 team on Glow. Let me know how you are getting on or if you need any help with the activities.
Take care, Mrs Hutchison
