Primary 5
Welcome to Primary Five
Welcome to the P5 home learning hub!
First of all a massive THANK YOU for being responsible learners and following the instructions to click onto this page!
Although we will miss being together in school, I will post weekly activities for you to complete from your home learning pack.
Try your best to get up at a reasonable time each morning and get dressed! It's a lot more difficult to be productive in your PJ's! :)
