We have had a fantastic #EuropeanDayofLanguages in P5P. We listened to stories in Greek and French, created presentations on national animals on Canva and continued learning a language of our own choice on Duolingo!👏 @missmcguckinbps.bsky.social

Thanks to the funding we secured from @mathsweek.scot we have been able to create ’number adventure kits’ to go home with our families! Each kit has a different focus: ‘Number and counting’, ‘pattern and shape’, “‘movement’ and ‘measure’, providing our families different opportunities to learn. 📏🔢
