Suggested Weekly Work for Second Class – 27/04/’20- 01/05/’20

A note from teacher:

Hi to all the girls in Second Class.

I hope you are all keeping well and that you have been enjoying the beautiful weather. I know it’s not easy not being able to see your friends but please remember how important it is to stay home and to stay safe.

Please find attached below the work for next week. If some of the links don’t work, please don’t worry. Just do the best you can. Remember please don’t feel you need to print the pages. It is absolutely fine to do the work on a page or copybook.

It was so wonderful to get an email from some of you this week and to see some of the lovely work you have all been doing. It would be great to get more updates from all of you next week. Please email secondclassmarist@gmail.com

Happy birthday to Alicja Wierucka who was 8 years old on Saturday!

Stay safe and keep smiling!

Ms. Mullins
