Hi 2nd Class, 

I hope you all have a lovely summer , you deserve the break after all the hard work you have been doing since we finished up in March!! Thanks very much to all your parents for your support, patience and hard work during this time. It was a pleasure to teach you all.  Best of luck in 3rd Class ⭐⭐ Keep Smiling and have a great summer 😁🌞🙂

Here is our goodbye video for those of you who missed it on our Zoom Meeting

See you all in September,

Miss Cremin

😃🌷🌸🌼⭐

⭐⭐⭐⭐Remember to keep up your reading over the summer to help you for 3rd class . 

For tables you could use https://www.theschoolhub.ie/sample.php   .... Continue using IXL for Literacy and Maths , this trial ends the end of the month but you can request another trial. 

For problem solving the NRICH website https://nrich.maths.org/ and https://nzmaths.co.nz/problem-solving are good websites for focusing on problem solving. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
