2nd Unit of Work For School Closure.

Second Instalment of School Closure Work for Mrs. Lochner’s, 2^nd and 3^rd Class.

*** This unit of work is for a fortnight, with "Easter Holidays" in the middle of this unit, you have plenty of time to complete this work before the next installment which will be begin on Monday 27th April.***

Hello again everyone! I hope you are all keeping well and continuing to wash those hands and keep your social distancing going? I am missing each and every one of you very much and only wish I was able to see you all in person, to do this next unit of work with you all. Unfortunately, as you’re all aware this is not possible as of yet and we therefore have to do our very best to keep up with our learning at home. I hope that the work I have given so far hasn’t proven too difficult and you have managed to get through it without torturing your parents too much!

I would like to remind you all that when you’re doing this next section of work to remember the standard of work that I expect off you and that you ensure your work is completed to that standard each and every day. Finally, God has gifted us with this beautiful, sunny weather to help us get through this tough time so please make the most of it while you can and enjoy it! Take care and stay safe!
