Miss. Horan: Term3, Week 2 Update

Hi girls!
I hope you all had a lovely week and enjoyed some of that glorious sunshine.

Last week, I spoke to some of you on the phone. It was great to have a little chat with you and catch up. I loved hearing all of your news.

I have made a list of some work for you to do over the next week.

My new school email address is fhorancashelgirls@gmail.com . As I told lots of you on the phone this is my direct email and I would love if you contacted me through that. Perhaps you could send me pictures of some of your work, you could even write me an email if you like or if any Mammy or Daddy has a question I would love to help.

Have a good week everybody.

Keep safe and I miss you all lots!

Ms. Horan
