- You should make sure you try to scan the newspapers every day and bring in any articles you find about your Global Goal (or any of the GGs…to help others!)
- Please work on the spelling activities that your class teacher has outlined with you.
- Don’t forget to continue on with Mathletics and Reading Eggs.
- Have a look at the amazing new resource, Big Universe!
