Primary 3 and 4 took part in a World Book Day scavenger hunt this morning. They had to work with a partner and look for clues in books. They worked so hard in their pairs and were totally engaged with reading and cooperation! Well done to both classes! Take a look at our photos and see their amazing efforts!

Growth Mindsets/ The Brain
Have a think about something that you used to find very difficult and can do better now. Or think about something that you could never ever do but now can. Be ready to talk about it on Monday.
If you can’t think of anything, ask an older person if they have an example that you can share.
Topic
We have started our new Vikings topic and need any card or plastic pizza bases, margarine tubs and petit filous yogurt pots that you can spare!
If the children have any books or resources for an information table they want to bring in that would also be very useful. Thank you to Amber who has already helped with this.

MO LI HUA (Translation)
What a jasmine flower!
When jasmine blooms.
Not even snow is whiter.
I want to pluck one and wear it
But I’m afraid those around me would mock me.
What a jasmine flower!
