I hope that you have all had a good rest over the Spring break and are now ready to get back to learning.

Each week I will post a selection of activities for you to complete. We will be doing some revision of things we have already learned to brush up on our skills and we will also add to what we already know with some new activities.

Please choose the activities that suit you best and don’t worry about completing everything. It is still really important that you spend time relaxing, playing games and having fun with your family.

If you haven’t already then please come and join the Primary 5 Team on Glow using your Glow details that have been emailed to you. This gives you an opportunity to talk to your classmates and post some pictures of the fantastic work that you have been completing.
