Hello 4th and 5th class. We are now in the last week of distance learning before the Midterm Break.

You have all earned a good rest during the Midterm as you have been producing such high quality work and it has been lovely interacting with you all through Seesaw and on our weekly Zoom call.

The Zoom call was brilliant today! Thanks to everyone who managed to get online it was wonderful to see you all.

For Zoom next week are doing bring your pet to Zoom! If you don't have a pet no problem just bring something that you care about instead :).  

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

Please find below the work for 8th-12th 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.

Enjoy your weekend :)
