During the school closure, the Department of Education has outlined that learning will still continue at home. I am aware that in the current situation it is difficult and the children will struggle to learn new topics. Therefore, the work which has been set is self-explanatory and covers a lot of revision. I encourage the children to try their best with all of the activities below.

3. Project Work - China
Children have received an outline of the project. Children are welcome to work individually or if they have a neighbour / cousin / sibling in the same class, they can complete the project together.
The project can be completed as a poster or as a booklet. Children should not get stressed about their projects, as they are all professionals after completing their Monaghan and Italy projects. They were all amazing!!
I encourage the children to use KidRex or Scoilnet WorldBook to do their research on for accurate information.
4. Twinkl
Twinkl is a great resource and in the light of recent developments in relation to Covid-19, they are offering one month of free subscription. On the website you will find a range of resources in all subject areas. Feel free to look at the activities and choose any of your own choice.
Finally, I hope everyone stays safe over the days that lie ahead and I look forward to seeing you all again soon.
