Together we Learn
P5
P5 had a great Take 5 day today. They 'Kept Learning' by doing a whiteboard Friday test, Daily 10 tables and Orienteering. They were 'Active' in P.E. learning how to do a forward roll. They 'Took Notice' by listening to music and noting how it made them feel. They also wrote and gave letters of gratitude to people who had made them feel like they matter. #take5
