If the children are reading non-fiction then they can use facts in the bubbles instead.

Maths

Children have been asigned activities on Education City. They should be familair with their logins. If internet is not availible at home then children will be able to complete these activities during silent reading time throughout the week.

So far I have been very impressed with the standard and quality of the homework in Primary 5 and a massive thank you to those at home who help and support the children in their learning.

Please continue to work through the assigned measure related activities on Education City.

Complete a reading journal challenge in relation to a book you are enjoying at home.
