Hello everyone!
I hope you have had a good start to your week and are enjoying the activities your teachers have posted for you today.
Our school birthdays over the last two weeks have been:
Grace P1, Lea P3, Mark P5, Craig P6, Toby P7 and Roberto P6 whose birthday is today! Congratulations to all of you – I hope you had a lovely day with your families!
Glad to see so many of you online, completing all the tasks and chatting to your friends. I’ve been hearing that some of you have been doing ‘Zoom’ chats out with school time to keep in touch with each other socially which is also great. We need keep in touch with each other! While I am sure you are all doing your best to be positive just now, there might be times when you feel a wee fed up. It’s really important to keep yourself healthy – getting out in the fresh air really, really helps with this. I have been going out for a cycle everyday, making sure that I keep my distance from others and spending a bit more time in the garden.
There are lots of fun ideas to find online that you can be doing outside and at this time of year you can be planting or growing. I am going to plant some carrot seeds today. This is a very new activity for me and I am hoping to learn a lot about how to grow vegetables over the coming weeks!
There are lots of ideas for things that you can do outdoors. Here are a couple of websites to look at for ideas:

Try and get out in the garden if you can- especially when sun is shining!
Have a good week everyone!
