Dear Parent/s,
Please find attached the homework for the week. Try to complete each day as best you can. If the work given is proving stressful in any way, please take a break from it. Many of you may not have had a chance to collect the books, if not don’t worry, you have free log in access to Folens and Fallons websites, where these books can be accessed ( login info is under useful websites below. Type in 3rd class and the ebooks will come up on the screen) Further details will be on the www.togherboys.com website. If you have any questions or encounter any difficulties with the work, please don’t hesitate to email me at yvonnemangan10@gmail.com. It was great to speak to a number of you the other day and I will do my very best to stay in contact with you over the coming weeks. Please ignore the initial message sent on Aladdin, as there were formatting issues when I transferred it over.
