Hi girls,
I hope you are all keeping well and have had a lovely week at home!
Well done on all your the hard work, I really am so proud of all you’ve done so far! For the month of June, we will be focusing on different themes each week. We’ll have a mindfulness week, school memories week, green schools week and we’ll finish out the year with active schools week! So there’s still lots to look forward to!
You should all receive a package in the post towards the end of this week or the start of next week which will contain worksheets and activities for the next few weeks. Please don’t begin any of the worksheets until you’ve been given instructions on what to do here on the website.
Miss Perdue is organising an online version of The Scribbler so if any of you would like to include a story, poem, puzzle, drawing, recipe or anything else you can think of please send them to mperduecashelgirls@gmail.com by Tuesday the 2nd of June. You are the senior girls in our school and I know you'll make a great effort to contribute something to our school magazine!
I hope you’ve all been working on your project and are enjoying it! Continue to work on it throughout this week. I’ve received a couple of emails telling me who you’ve chosen to research and there are some really interesting people in there!
Make sure to check out the photos I received this week! I really enjoy reading your emails and seeing your photos and schoolwork so please keep the emails coming. If you haven’t sent me an email yet, please do. I’d love to hear from you! My email is amyryancashelgirls@gmail.com
I have received some beautiful photos of some of you out and about enjoying nature for our photo challenge. If there are any more photos you'd like included please try to get them in to us by Wednesday the 27th of May.
Take care,
Miss Amy Ryan.
