Hello everyone,

I hope you are all keeping well and had a great weekend. This week the workload will be further reduced as we are coming towards the end of the school year.   We will be doing English on Monday and Wednesday and Maths on Tuesday and Thursday and taking a break on Friday 🙂 I have also included some ‘Wellness Week’ activities that the children can do each day if they wish.  Please do not feel under pressure to get all of the work completed, just do as much as you can.

Thank you to those who have sent me work, it was great seeing them all. If you have any questions you can contact me on my email address; cgordonstjosephs@gmail.com

Take Care,
Ms. Gordon
