Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work. I know everybody is doing their very best work.
Best work
With your permission (!!) I will be putting up some of your best work e.g. drawings, designs, good writing etc. to share with your friends. You can also send me some drawings or anything you would like to share.
Reading:
This week I would like you to concentrate on your reading. It was great to see the excellent books you were reading so we might have a book club meeting on Wednesday. Bring your book to the Meet and tell us about the story so far - without giving any spoilers!!
Books from school Library - If anyone wants to borrow books from the school library I can arrange a pack of 3/4 books for you and it can be collected at school. Just email me if you want a book pack.
Also I will set up a reading tab in Assignments and you can upload a 1 minute video of you reading a bit of your book to your private work space for me to see.
Maths
I will be putting up extra sheets in the maths section of Classwork. These sheets are only if you have finished your maths quickly and want some extra work. There will also be some maths problems to challenge your brains. Check these out and you might find your name mentioned!!
Meet on-line
I loved meeting everyone on line. So please try to make the meetings. If you can’t make your time just let me know and we can arrange another meeting that suits.
A little reminder that the Meet link will be open at the top of the Stream 5 minutes before we are due to go on.
Classwork
Your weekly work will be on Classwork. There will also be more explanatory videos, photos and links to videos and virtual tours – so please check these out before you do your work as they might help you to understand.
Again if there is anything you need help with you can contact me on my email o.tobin@peterandpaulschool.net or tell me when we have our “Meet”.
