Note to Parents (17th April 2020)
Dear Parents
We hope you all had an enjoyable – if somewhat unusual – Easter break & that you and your families are keeping well.
We have put together the work above for the 4th class girls for the next 2 weeks. We hope this will keep them learning & occupied and that there are activities in here which they will enjoy & that they will (mostly) be able to work on independently.
Please do not feel pressurised to complete everything. We understand that these are challenging times & that each family is doing their best.
Please encourage your daughter to read every day. This is invaluable in terms of her progression in 4th class.
If you need to contact any of us our email addresses are as follows:
You will be receiving a school request this week to forward on your email address and we would encourage you to send this on at your convenience
With our thanks & best wishes,
Órfhlaith, Ciara & Gill
(4th class teachers)
