Good morning Primary 3! I thought I would set you a little challenge today, to see if you can have a go at learning some of these important life skills at home.
Any skill that is useful in your life can be considered a life skill.
Ask an adult or older sibling to help you, they might have some good advice and top tips for you!
Safety is really important so do these activities with an adult.
With support, can you learn…
