Hello 5th & 6th Class!!!
I hope everyone is well and staying safe. I trust you are all following the Social Distancing rules and regulations. These rules are in place to keep you and your families safe. The more we follow the guidelines set out by An Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar and Minister for Health, Simon Harris the sooner we can get back to normal and back to School!!!!
I am posting some work for you to do over the coming weeks. Please DO NOT put pressure on yourselves. This in only a suggestion and do what you can. However it is important for everyone to keep up a healthy routine - go to be early, get up early, get some daily exercise, take it easy on the sweets (and the Playstation)!!
You can email me any questions you have and I will be delighted to answer them if I can! If you wish you can take a picture of your work and email it to me for correction.
