As we enter our final week of school, in a much different way than usual, I’m sure you are all tired of doing the ‘normal’ schoolwork and homework. For the last few days, I have included a list of fun activities that you can pick and choose from. Try to do a few of your own choice each day and you might like to try some of them during the summer months as well. Have Fun! I have also sent an email regarding our whole school Summer Reading Initiative, which I’m sure you will all enjoy taking part in. Don’t forget to wish all the Dads a ‘Happy Father’s Day’ on Sunday!
