30th March 2020

Good morning Primary 5,

I hope that you enjoyed a lovely relaxing weekend with your families. Week two of home learning will be a little easier if you make a plan and try to get into a routine. Some of you managed to spend some time completing tasks on First News, Sumdog and Studyladder last week, well done. New tasks are set and waiting for you for this week. Remember that Sumdog will also allow you access to spelling and reading tasks.

We discussed the idea of creating a Time Capsule Letter to our future selves. In your letter you could give information about your likes, dislikes, your hopes/dreams for the future, what is happening in the world in 2020, what you have been doing during school closure and how you are feeling. When complete seal the letter in an envelope and mark ‘DO NOT OPEN UNTIL 2030.’ Give your letter to a parent for safe keeping.

The sun is shining today so wrap up warm and spend some time outdoors. You could jog around your garden or create your own fun workout.

Please spend some quiet time praying for those who are suffering across the world. Try to make someone at home smile today.
