Hi 4th class & Parents,

Well done on your continued engagement with Seesaw. It’s great to be able to see the children’s work and

I can see that everyone is working really hard at home and trying their best at everything!

The Maths topic this week is operations. This is mainly revision of the different types of sums we have been

doing this year, their layout and the process of doing them. Pay attention to the layout of these sums in the

PowerPoint and try to do your best, neat work in your copy.

This is the last week of a lot of our homework books which is very exciting! That doesn’t mean we won’t be

doing any work once they’re done but we’ll be making a few changes since those books are finished and

we’ll be trying some different things. Try your absolute best in those books this week so that you finish

them showing your best work!

Also just a reminder of the short story competition on the school website. Entries are due in the 15th of

May and they can be emailed to Mrs. McMurdock at amcmurdock@castleknocknationalschool.ie. It

would be great to hear about some students in 4th class entering this!

Have a lovely weekend everyone 😊

Ms. Culbert
