Dear Parents/Guardians and Pupils,
I hope you are all doing well at this time. I know this is quite a challenging time for everyone and hopefully we will be back in the classroom soon. Until then, the girls should continue on with their Read at Home and Mental Maths.
A reminder that daily work included:
- Read at Home
- Mental Maths
- Spellings
- Learn fraction wall
- Read a chapter of “Wildflower Girl” and corresponding page
- Italy Projects (guidelines of their projects were put into their journals)
I have written a list of some additional work you can do. Of course, I do not expect all of this work to be completed, remember a little goes a long way. This is a great time to revise tables and learn your fraction wall, as this will really benefit you throughout your school years. When using the internet please make sure to always stay safe. It is also important to ensure that you are getting regular exercise at this time. If you have any questions please contact me on egarvey@stkevinsgns.com. I’m looking forward to getting back and seeing you soon!
Take care,
Ms. Garvey
