Hi 6th Class,
I hope everyone is keeping well and enjoying the good weather! Thank you to all of you who have been in contact with me and sent me your work to check. It has been great to hear from you!
This week is a little bit different as I have split the work into daily amounts. Each day you will have about 30-40 minutes of English, Gaeilge & Maths and then one further subject. It might be best to set your mornings out like this if possible so you are finished your work by midday and can then enjoy the rest of your day.
Time | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday |
9.00 – 9.40 | Gaeilge | Gaeilge | Gaeilge | Gaeilge | Gaeilge |
9.40 – 10.20 | English | English | English | English | English |
10.20 – 10.30 | B | R | E | A | K |
10.30 – 11.10 | Maths | Maths | Maths | Maths | Maths |
11.10 – 11.45 | Geography | P.E. | Geography | Art | Drama |
Set aside your time each day and work through the activities as best you can. This is great preparation in terms of learning how to organise and manage your time. Again, you do not have to complete all the work in each subject but you should be spending about 2 hours/2 hours 30mins on the work that has been given. Concentrate when you are doing it and try stay away from all distractions.
Once again if there is anything that I can do to help you please let me know. My email is: stjosephssixthclass20@gmail.com
I hope everyone is keeping safe and I’m looking forward to seeing all your great work again this week!
