Good morning everyone,
It's chapter 49 and 50 in Holes...the final chapters! It's a really satisfying conclusion I think, I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it tomorrow.
We have p117 in Busy at Maths today, finding the area and perimeter of irregular shapes.
You have your English in Practice to complete as normal, plus WOW words and spellings to be completed for Friday too.
There is no Gaeilge comprehension today, I will give you some time to catch up with the work of the last few days - remember tomorrow there is a spelling test and WOW words test so make sure to prepare!
There's a few more Safer Internet activities to try and for some musical fun, there's a "Blob Opera" for you to try out!
Talk to you all at 11 5th Class.
Mr Kelly
