Hello everyone,
Thank you all so much for working so hard and sending me lots of work last week. It makes me very happy to see such wonderful work being done at home. I am one very proud teacher!
This week is Active Home Week!!!
If you were in school this week you would all be very active doing lots of different physical activities each day but unfortunately, this year is a little different. Ms. Leonard and the Active School Committee members have been working hard to come up with different home activities you can do each day. Let’s try our best to ensure we keep our beautiful active flag by being as active as we can this week!!!
I have reduced the amount of school work this week to allow extra time for active work.
Please ensure you fill in and return the Challenge Chart to me at the end of the week sorcha.j.mooney@gmail.com. We need as many forms as possible to retain our Active Flag! Ms. Leonard even has some exciting prizes up for grabs but you need to return your challenge chart to be in with a chance to win!!
