Hello 2nd Class, Parents/ Guardians.
I hope you are all safe and well and that you had a nice Bank Holiday Weekend!
Please note that the work listed below (Tuesday 5th- Friday 8th May) is a general guideline and there is no pressure to get it all completed, Just do what you can (a little bit each day)! I know it is hard to complete the work when the children do not have all of their books at home. Try your best! Please do not hesitate to contact me on: marie.conway@stjosephsgorey.ie if you need any assistance or if you would like to send on any completed work. All written work can be done in your homework copy/ a spare copy or on sheets that you might have at home. Please remember to rule your copy, write the date and heading.
Many thanks,
Stay Safe and Take Care!
Marie Conway,
