Good morning Primary 5! I hope you all had a super weekend. At this time of the year we usually have our school Sports Day but because we can’t be in school just now, this year we will be having a virtual one. Have a look at the link below or the school Twitter for all of the details.
It is also at this time that we start to think back on all the fun things we have done and learned this year and look forward to moving on. Therefore, I have themed most of this week’s activities around sport, fitness and a look back at the year.
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
