Hi everyone,
Can you believe it is our last week of schoolwork already! I have planned some fun activities for you to complete this week. On Monday you have two virtual tours you can explore. While on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday I have set different challenges which you can try – you could pick just one or more it is up to you.
As always you can contact me by email at mskennystjosephsgorey@gmail.com
Well done to everyone who has worked so hard over the last number of weeks, you have been amazing and you should be so proud of yourselves. It has been a difficult time for everyone but hopefully it will soon be over and we will all be back learning and having fun together again.
I have really enjoyed teaching you all, you have been a great class!
I wish you all safe and happy summer!
Take care,
Ms.Kenny
