Week beginning 27th April 2020

Dear Parents, 
Hope you are all well and enjoying the good weather. 
Below is some work for this week.
Ms Dunne, Mr Gallagher and Ms Lynch have English work outlined for the week . If at anytime pupils are finding this work too difficult then we have posted some alternative work ideas below.  We know that pupils will not have time to do both sets of work. We know that everyone is trying their best during this pandemic and working with whatever resources they have. 
Remember to look through the sheets we posted to you for the corresponding English sheets. And please contact us by email at anytime if you need us to resend anything. 
It is so important to remember not too stress too much about school work and to have fun. 
Our email address is msmcclaffertymrsclarke@gmail.com.
Take care and stay safe.
Kind Regards,
Ms Mc Clafferty and Mrs Clarke.
