Suggested work for (18th-22nd May) 1st & 2nd class

My email is mspierceaughrim@gmail.com

Children,

It’s great to hear about all the terrific work you are doing at home like baking, gardening and

getting out cycling, skipping, running and walking back the fields! You are some superheroes!

I am so impressed with you children! Don’t forget that little chores like hanging out the

washing on the clothes line, dressing your bed, tidying away your toys and tidying your room

are just as important in these times too! It’s a big help to Mum and Dad.

Finally, a belated happy birthday to Aaron Mannion, hope you had a great birthday and a big

happy birthday to Ailbhe McLaughlin!

Stay safe and don’t forget to wash your hands!

(Thank you so much for all the hard work you are doing with your child I am so grateful!)

Kindest regards

Ms Pierce
