Week: March 30th - April 3rd

Hi everyone!! These are peculiar times we find ourselves in! We hope that you are all

keeping well and that you are helping your family at home. It is important that you are

getting enough fresh air outside to keep you fit and healthy, take advantage of the good

weather while it lasts but please maintain a good social distance. Outlined below is some

schoolwork designed to keep your brains active, it is a continuation of what you have

been doing for the last 2 weeks. Do what you can manage and give it your best shot.

Mornings are often the best time to get these done, that way you have the rest of the

day still ahead of you to help at home, get out in the garden and relax in the sunshine.

Your parents are obviously very busy at this time trying to look out for everyone's health

in your family, so please do your best to help them in any kind way that you can think of.

Every little gesture helps! Be safe 🙂

Note to parents/guardians- We hope you are all in good spirits and not under too much

pressure! We appreciate these are challenging times. Feel free to work away on this

selected work to best suit your own circumstances. This work is not designed to add

more stress to an already tense situation. You above all are the best judges as to what

level/amount of work suits the needs of the children in your household. The 6th

class

teachers are available via email to provide support and guidance.

Be safe and see you all soon,
