Good morning everyone. I hope you all had a great weekend and are ready for another week of online work.
I am thrilled at the amount of you submitting your work every day and also well done to all the people who completed the mini project, I loved reading them! This week’s mini project has a History theme to it and again just like last week complete it if you want to. It can be as long or as short as you like.
Some of you have been lucky enough to be getting loads of extra help with your maths or Gaeilge at home. If you need to get a lot of help or find something really tricky to understand please let me know in your email. I might be able to give you tips and tricks to help you understand it better.
This week is Catholic school week, I have attached a document if you would like to work on it at home. Todays theme is Faith – Religion 1
Good luck with your work today!
