3rd/4th Class work - Monday 1st February

Hello everyone,

I hope everyone is keeping well! Next week is our fourth week of remote learning and I'm sure many of you are beginning to feel a bit fatigued by it all. It's very difficult to muster enthusiasm day in, day out in the same environment with no end in sight. Encourage your child to do his/her very best every day and prioritize reading and tables if they are finding it difficult to get to everything. I hope the videos of the Irish work and maths work are helpful and I'm delighted to see so many of the children staying connected and engaging with me on seesaw.

I am planning a zoom call with the classes this week on Wednesday morning. Further details will be texted to you via our textaparent service. The zoom call is really just a chance to connect with the children and to find out how they are finding the schoolwork set every week. Hopefully it is just a matter of a few short weeks before we are back in the classroom and some semblance of normality returns!

Ms. Corbett
