5th class - Scoil Naomh Áine NS

School work 08/06/2020

Hello Kids and Parents,
I hope you all had a lovely weekend. These past few months have been very strange and difficult for everybody but I know how resilient you all have been and this has shown in your super work. You have been doing such fantastic work and I am very proud of you all.  From this week until the end of June, we are going to do our work a little bit differently, which means we will be doing less written work if any. Feel free to continue with the workbooks if you would like.
Our main focus this week will be on the PAWS programme. https://watersafety.ie/primary-school/ You will remember that PAWS is the Water Safety programme that you have been taught in other years. It is very extremely important that Water Safety is taught coming into the summer so that you are always safe and know what to do in all water situations. This week we want you to look at this with those at home.
Spellings for Me is so important and you need to work on this as much as you can this week so you’re ready for September.
Reading is one of the best things that you can do and we would like for you all to continue reading for at least 30 minutes every day. Continue with your own book, remember if you have run out of books you can log into the EPIC website using the class code jts6590 or the myOn website for free extra books.
This week we are still looking at the theme of ‘Construction’ and we would love if you could share with us on Twitter, something you have constructed. Please have your construction ready to go for our zoom call on Friday 12 th at 11:30.
I have attached all your school work for this week on Aladdin Connect and SeeSaw. Remember you can send drawings, videos and voice recordings of your work too.
If you have any queries at all, please feel free to contact me.
Best wishes,
Ms.Keating.
