Hello
Boys and girls, I hope you had a lovely week. Thank you for sending me pictures
of your wonderful work. I was very excited to see some of the work that you
have been doing. It is great to see so many creative drawings, words and
sentences, maths work and play happening in your homes. Keep up the brilliant
work!!!!
This
week we are going to look at the zoo and some of the amazing animals that live
there. Remember you don’t have to complete everything on the list, just try
your best.
I
am looking forward to seeing more of your fantastic work and pictures this
week. Don’t forget to get plenty of fresh air and play outdoors in the
beautiful sunshine. Be kind, help Mammy and Daddy and keep washing your hands
often!
Take
care,
Mrs
O’Neill
