Hi everyone. We are now entering week four of distance learning and you have all shown incredible resilience and dedication to your work! Well done for all the hard effort you have been putting in and it is lovely to see your fantastic work on Seesaw.

I really enjoyed our zoom call this morning and I hope you all did too. We are going to do another scavenger hunt next week J. I will have a quiz organized so you may want to have a piece of paper and a pen/pencil to write down your answers.

As always, If you have any question or concerns please contact me through Seesaw or by email at pault@stoliverplunkettns.com.

It is now the month of February so we will be learning about St Brigid.

Please find below the work for 1st-5th February.

This is an example of how you may decide to structure the learning this week. It is not prescriptive, do what works best for your family at your own discretion and work around your own schedule.

Have a lovely relaxing weekend.

Mr Treacy
