Health and Wellbeing ๐Ÿ˜

So far this week, in Primary 4, we have been very busy and working hard in class. We have been learning about Road Safety with Mrs Davidson and focusing on how important it is to โ€˜Be Bright, Be Seen.โ€™ ย ๐Ÿ”ฆ

During handwriting, we have been learning to carry out peer assessment of our baseline joins and discussed how it has noticeably improved. Well done boys and girls, youโ€™ve been consistently trying hard! โœ๏ธ

Today was an exciting day because we took part in our first indoor P.E lesson. Everyone agreed it was fantastic to be back in the gym hall and taking part in Yoga as part of Health and Wellbeing. ๐Ÿ’š
