Day One Challenges

As regards the work for this week and next week, we'll try and do things a little bit differently. You are going to be asked to do a series of challenges. The challenges will be a mixture of sports related activities, quizzes, projects, art and a few other different things. You won't be doing these challenges on your own, you will be part of a team. You will be awarded points for each challenge you participate in so the more you participate the more points your team will earn. 

Please see attached list of challenges for Monday (June 8th) below. You have 48 hours to complete the challenges. Photos and/or videos need to be sent in by 9 a.m. on Wednesday (June 10th) at the latest. A text will be sent to parents with the details on where to send the photos and/or videos. 

The teams are also attached below (3rd - 6th Class are all included). 

Day Two Challenges will be posted here on Wednesday morning (June 10th) as well.
