Work for Week 3 of School Closure - 30/March/2020
Hey guys,
Karen and I wanted to upload some more activities for you
to complete before (or over) your Easter Holidays. You can take your time and work
at your own pace.
Please try to complete the Maths (Chapter 24 – Area) section
below. Karen has uploaded videos (using google drive) and a day by day guide to
completing the chapter. We’ve also included information on how you can download
your CJ Fallon school books so that you can continue to work from home.
We know it’s not easy to work from home so just try your
best and don’t worry if you cannot
complete all the work.
We would like you to at least watch the RTÉ School Hub
daily. This is something you could do with your siblings, parents or alone.
Thank you to everyone who has emailed Karen or myself
your County of Ireland Projects. We have loved reading them and are emailing
back our responses as we read through them.
Also, we would like to thank everyone who took part in
our CareChoice Challenge (Previous Post). They have been overwhelmed with the
response from you guys J
Please
Remember: Keep working at your own pace J Keep
reading, exercising and helping out at home. Feel free to email either Karen or
myself @ Karen.boyle@belmayne-etns.ie
or karl.lawless@belmayne-etns.ie
and let us know how you’re getting on. We would genuinely love to hear from you
