Hello everyone,
I hope you are all well and happy. It’s hard to believe that we are nearly finished third class!
This week we will be holding a sports day on Friday. The activities for the sports day will be listed at the end of the blog. I would love to see some photographs of you taking part in our Sports day. Feel free to change some of the activities and of course you can add some of your own!
For the last two weeks we will not be doing anymore writing activities in Charlotte's Web or Gaeilge. Instead we will focus on reading in both English and Irish. We will continue with a little bit of Maths just to keep you practicing what you have learned. Please make sure you complete the worksheet for the Newspaper article. We would like every child to complete this activity and send it on either by post or by email. You can also type out your newspaper article if that suits better and email it on :).
Enjoy Sports Day girls and have a wonderful week!
Best wishes,
Ms. Meagher
