Room 10 School work Mar 30th - 3rd April

Hi girls,

Ms. Flanagan here. I hope you and your families are all well and safe. This is a hard time for everyone in Ireland at the moment so we must all do our bit.  That means keep up the social distancing for a little  bit longer.  It’s difficult I know but it is very necessary.

I miss being in school with you all but hopefully we will be back there as soon as we can.  In the meantime, I hope you are touching base with your school work   each day and keeping your brains and bodies  active.  There is no right or wrong way to do this. All that matters is that you are active and engaged in a multitude of activities. That could mean cleaning up at home, arts  & crafts, baking/cooking dinner, tidying your room, washing floors and organising your wardrobe etc . Your parents would be so grateful for your help as this is a hard time for them also!! Be kind to each other.

I hope the school work I set for you has kept you busy and given you a routine of sorts. The activities can be done at your own pace and are not there to overwhelm you or your parents.  Do what you can, when you can. There is no deadline.

 For those of you who are finished, I am now setting some work for the week March 30^th – April 3^rd 2020.

I do hope we all see each other soon.

Keep well and safe.

Aileen Flanagan.
