Ms Horan work for week may 25th - may 29th

Hi girls!
I hope you have had a wonderful week.

I visited all of your houses last Tuesday. I was lucky enough to meet a lot of you. It was so lovely to see you. I really miss seeing you all at school so it was nice to see some of you even though it was only for a few minutes.

You now have all of your workbooks at home. Please try and work away on them yourselves. If you have any trouble with anything or would like to send me photos of your work, please do so. I love to see how you are getting on.

This week coming our theme will be ‘Summer’. I know lots of you have been enjoying the good weather so I am pretty sure this is a theme you will enjoy. Don’t forget to send me photos of all your wonderful work.

Have a great week everyone.
Ms. Frances Horan
