Activities for 1st & 2nd Class 8th-12th June

Hello 1^st & 2^nd class!

I hope you are all keeping well and enjoying your active homework. After working hard to become fit and strong last week, this week we will be concentrating on some yoga poses and stretching. I know all the children really enjoyed our yoga classes with Maggie, so let’s continue to stretch it out and be mindful at home. We will also be taking a look at farm safety this week to make sure we enjoy farm life and the great outdoors in a respectful and safe manner. I would especially love if you kept up your daily reading also. I’m really looking forward to seeing some pictures or videos of you completing these activities on Seesaw!

This Friday we will be hosting zoom calls for each class. We have been missing all of our students and would love to pop on for a quick chat to say hello & offer you a chance to catch up with your classmates. A text will be sent in the coming days with a time and date.

Looking forward to chatting soon,

Ms Ryan (",)
