Schoolwork May 5th – 8th

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well and you had a lovely bank holiday weekend.

Thank you to everyone that has submitted work or/and have been in contact over the past two weeks.  I can see you are all doing great work at home.  Please continue this fantastic effort.  For anyone that has not been in contact, please do not hesitate to email me – mskennystjosephsgorey@gmail.com

This week’s work follows the same daily layout as the past two weeks. However, as I mentioned before, you can complete the work in whatever order and quantity that suits you.  I have once again used Google forms to communicate the majority of the lessons as you may not have the books necessary and it is accessible on many devices – phone, tablet or desktop. When you have completed the tasks set on Google Forms please check you have provided the correct email and you have clicked submit. I will then be able to view and email you feedback based on your work. (If you have not received any emails from me and you have submitted work, please check that your email address on your submitted Google Forms is correct)

As you read through the tasks, please read the instructions carefully as some work is specifically set for particular groups for example English spellings and comprehensions.

If you wish to send me scans or pictures of your work, if you have questions or need any further guidance please email mskennystjosephsgorey@gmail.com

Take care,

Ms. Kenny
