Dear Parents and Pupils of Rang a cúig agus Rang a sé,

 

Please find below the plan of work for Week 3 - 25th- 29th January 2021. I have been blown away from the experiments, activities, artwork you have been doing to the lovely music, sport's challenges and baking. You are all such a talented bunch! Well done on all the fantastic work you have been doing. Thanks to all of those who were able to join the zoom this morning, it was lovely to see you all and hear all about your news and your Christmas.

 

This week,  it is Catholic Week and this years theme is “Communities of Faith, Learning, Love, Resilience and Hope”. On Wednesday and Thursday, I have an activity for us to do. On Thursday, we will mark Grandparent’s Day. As always, if you have any questions/ concerns please contact me through Seesaw or via email at niamhc@stoliverplunkettns.com. 

 

 

Homework is also outlined on Seesaw. Caroline and I will upload a Fun Friday activity for you to try during the week and there are more ideas here: https://padlet.com/niamhcolleranty/f8rn3dszy3rz

 

This is an example of how you may decide to structure the learning this week. It is not prescriptive, do what works best for your family at your own discretion and work around your own schedule.

 

Have a lovely weekend,

 Ms. Colleran
