Dear Parents and Boys
I hope you are all keeping safe and well. I also hope that you enjoyed the Easter break. I have enclosed a plan of work for the week ahead. To the boys, I know we are not at school at the moment and learning from home is strange and not normal so I only ask for you to try your best and do what you can. I’m looking forward to hearing from you again this week. You can also send me your “Animal Report” to correct if you wish to do so.
Thinking of you all
Ms. O’Sullivan
