Hello 6th Class! First of all I hope everyone is keeping well and helping out lots at home! Continue to do the work that you wrote in your journal for this week and then next week you can start on the work below. Do whatever you can do and don’t worry if you get stuck on something, move on to the next piece and try your best on that. I hope to see you all very soon! Stay safe and be good!

All written work can be done in your copy or on sheets that you may have at home. Make sure your page is ruled, has a date and your written work is presented neatly! Check back over all written work when you are finished.

The books that are marked with ** can be accessed on the CJ Fallon web page. Visit http://my.cjfallon.ie and click ‘Student Resources’, then filter to the title of the book you require, making sure ‘Online Books’ is selected in the ‘Resources’ section.
