I will be taking part too to help build up our distance.🏃🏻♀️ It would be great for us to win some vouchers so make sure you send in your distances! 🏃♀️ Check out the active school page for more info.
Weeks 6th - 22nd May :)
Hi girls,
I hope you are all staying safe and well at home. :) Well done to everyone that took part in Active Home Week last week, it was a great success! :) I loved seeing all your pictures and videos.
Don't forget to send me on a picture of your completed Active Home week chart as soon as you can. Try your best to continue to keep active for 60 minutes each day, especially when the weather is so good. There are lots of fun ideas on the active school page!
Here is your work and resources for the next two and a half weeks. We are focusing on the same topics in English, Maths, Irish and SESE for the two and a half weeks so I thought it would be best to upload it altogether. As always, there is no pressure to complete all the work, just do what you can. :)
I have attached a few worksheets this week to go along with their work. You do not need to print out these worksheets if you don't want, the girls can look at them online and write down the answers in a copy/page. If you have any questions please give me an email. :)
