Good morning.
I hope everyone is still keeping well and you are all safe. While some things seem to be getting a bit closer to what we remember before lockdown, we must all remember the importance of staying at home and washing hands regularly. We don’t want this progress to be lost quickly.
Junior Newsdesk today has an article about Hula Hoops. Do you have one? Can you hula? I’d love to see some photos of you trying it out.

Children have been working on Mathletics and 45 children received their bronze certificates via Seesaw on Friday. Hopefully we can get P2 set up this week and we’ll let you know on Seesaw of how to log in etc. We are learning how it works as you complete the assigned tasks, so bear with us please. Some children have not logged in yet and we need them to do so before the end of this week.
Accelerated Reader is still available for the P4-P7 children. While there have been many of you taking quizzes, a number have not and we need you to do so before the end of term.
