School Work for Miss Ryan's 5th :) (5th - 8th May)

Hi girls,

I hope you’ve all had a lovely week. I hope the work that I’ve set for you was manageable and that you’ve been tipping away at it. As I said last week, it’s really important to keep engaging with your work. Feel free to send me on some photos of you working away, your work itself or even photos of what you’ve been up to and I’ll post them on the website.

Remember that this week is a short week. Monday is a bank holiday and so make sure you take the day off ‘school’! That means no schoolwork. I’m sure some of your Mams and Dads will be just as happy as you are about that, possibly even happier!!

I hope you’re all continuing to be helpful and kind to your families. When I spoke to you on the phone, some of you told me you were missing your friends, grannies, grandads, school(!!), sports and lots more besides! And while it's completely normal to miss all of those things, we should also be grateful for the things we are lucky enough to have. So this week I want you to do something nice for your parents and siblings to let them know how grateful you are to have them!

Sending my best to you all and your families.

Take care girls,

Miss Amy Ryan.
