Hi girls, hope you all had a nice weekend!
Can you believe we are into the third week of June?

As you have all been working so hard over the last few months, Ms. O’Connor our principal has very nicely suggested that we can now start to wind down towards our Summer Holidays. So this week (15th-19th June) we have reduced the academic work for you. Instead we have included some fun and easy activities to do at home.

We really hope you enjoy them.

Please do email us to say hello, share some news or some of the activities you have been trying out.

If you have any concerns or queries your parent(s)/guardian(s) can contact us at the email addresses below:

We would still like you to try your best to complete all of the blue activities. After that, you can pick and choose from any of the white activities.

We suggest that you complete the following over the week:
- one Mental Maths test each day
- read story in 'Gaeilge’ and complete the two activities
- learn 5 English spellings from Unit 18 word list and complete one Spelling activity.
- some handwriting in 'Ready, Steady, Write' if you have some remaining
-Engage with the 'Grow in Love' Seasonal Lesson 5: How we have Grown in Love. (End of Year Review)

Have fun with all the rest!

Have you read a good book lately? Or perhaps you have made something interesting at home?
If there is something you have enjoyed doing, why not let us know so we can share the idea with your friends?

Try to complete a page of your 'Ready, Steady, Write' each day. Everyone is working on this at their own pace so don’t worry if you have lots left. Continue to take your time and do your very best even if that is only half a page a day. Send us a picture if you would like to show us how beautiful your cursive writing is looking.

Please continue with one Mental Maths test per day in your Mental Maths book.

Where in the World are we off to?

The Great Pyramid

The Great Pyramid, built by Khufu, was the first and largest pyramid at Giza. Standing 139 meters high (455 ft), it was the tallest man-made structure on Earth for nearly 4,000 years. The pyramid is aligned with the cardinal directions, and faces almost exactly due north, a confounding architectural feat.Next to the Great Pyramid is the Khufu ship, a fully intact solar boat intended to transport the pharaoh to the afterlife.
