DOJO CHALLENGE
Primary were amazing hunters for our Fun Challenge this week and showed their finding skills brilliantly. I saw so many wonderful collages and group photos of all the items and objects found for every letter in our House and Mascot names. I was amazed at just how many interesting objects the students have found all around them!
The February Maths Challenge has come to an end this week but fear not! It will return again next week with a brand new challenge set to test Maths brains for the March challenge!
This week’s Fun Challenge is an opportunity to celebrate the wonderful wildlife we are lucky to be surrounded by. World Pangolin Day was celebrated on February 19th and in honour of that day, we’d like you to share amazing facts about your favourite wild animals!
