We're here... The final week of 3rd class! No one would have expected it to end this way back in September 2019 but here we are. We have missed your happy faces so much in the last 3 months but your emails, photos and work have cheered us up so much. Have a great summer and listen to our messages again from last week.

We've limited our suggested work to just a few small activities. Obviously, last week had huge booklets in English and Maths that can be continued into the summer if you wish. So just 3 short activities to complete if you wish this week.

Finally, some summer art. This is called PopArt. It uses common images and then fills these images with different patterns. This week, we're going to use flip-flops as we're entering our summer holidays. You can use your own patterns or use the template patterned sheet - up to you. Enjoy.

We want to thank you all for all the amazing work you have been sending us. It's hard to keep working at home and to stay motivated, so well done! We can't wait to see you all in August/September again and see how much you've grown and changed! It will be nearly 6 MONTHS then since you were last in school. That's crazy!

We also wanted to say a huge thank you and well done to all the parents/guardians too. This has been the most testing time for so many people with so many circumstances individual to everyone. So fitting in home-schooling and working around constant childcare hasn't been easy. Thank you.

This week we're going to ask you to try the final chapter in our Mathemagic Books (Chapter 36). This is a revision chapter of the whole year. Please have a look at and try some of the activities on pages 171-174 of your Mathemagic books. There are some questions we won't have covered in much detail due to the Covid-19 closures. Therefore, if unsure of anything skip it and let us know anything you found very difficult at 3rdclassteachers@virginians.ie
