5 th Class – Ms Wallace Work Plan 7

Dear Parents,

I hope you are all keeping well. Below is a suggested plan of work for this week. As I mentioned already, you do not need to complete all of the work, it is there as an option. Please do not put yourself or your child under pressure to complete all of this work.

I have created a padlet, which is an online noticeboard. Here is the link: https://padlet.com/rachelwallace1/jfixiotamqsxxto5 On this padlet, you will find everything you need in one place. It is divided into columns for each day and the activities are displayed there with videos, worksheets and links to other websites.

If you are not using the padlet, I will still be uploading the word document each week. Some worksheets will still be attached to the document. It might be handy to use the zoom tool on the bottom right of the screen so you can see the images more clearly.You do not need to print these pages; the girls are well able to read the pages and complete the activities on a separate page or in a copy book.

I have not included PE in the plan below. However, it would be great for the girls to be doing some exercise every day. Below you will find a list of some activities that your daughter could complete. I have also listed the spellings below. If you would like your daughter to continue learning her spellings, practice 4 a night and put them into sentences. You can then test them at the end of the week.

If your daughter is having trouble completing the work please send me an email at rachel.wallace@northpresprimary.ie and I will do my best to help her.
