Tuesday 5th May – Friday 8th May
Hello 6th Class,
Again, I have attached my email address for you to be able to contact me. You can email me at: stjosephssixthclass20@gmail.com
I hope you are all keeping safe & well and that you enjoyed your Bank Holiday weekend as best you could. I hope you have all been helping out at home and keeping busy. The following exercises are for this week and just like before, do what you can. Try and do some each day from Tuesday – Friday. Don’t worry if you get stuck on something, move on to the next piece and try your best on that. Set aside time each day to focus solely on your schoolwork and really concentrate on doing the best you can. Remember that this is only a guide and I’m not expecting you to complete it all, but just to try your best!
Try some different things to keep yourself busy at home but that will also help you learn new skills such as baking, helping in the garden etc.
