3rd Class Ballyea N.S

Suggested Work

Monday 20th – 24th April

Dear Parents,

I hope you are all well. I hope enjoyed the Easter break and made the most of the fine weather even in these difficult times. I have made out a table of suggested work for your child to complete over the next week.

I can be contacted daily on thirdclassballyea@gmail.com where you can send me on pictures of your childs work if you wish. Please feel free to contact me if you need guidance or have any queries on a particular topic.

The programme of work that I have assigned will cover some revision of work already taught however as we move through the weeks, I will need to assign some work that will be new to your child – particularly in Maths. I will be assisting with these new learning areas by giving a step by step approach and sending on some useful tips and links.

Please do not feel under pressure about any of the work assigned. I am aware that many of you are working from home and it can very difficult trying to balance it all. Every child learns and completes their work at a different pace so please don’t feel that your child must have everything completed. Please do not spend more than 3 hours completing the work, if its taking longer than this to complete feel free to leave some parts out.

All the best,

Helen
