3rd Class Homework Miss Mangan 2 Week Plan 2nd June – 12th June
Dear Parent/s,
I hope everyone had a good week. The summer holidays are in sight. We are nearly there. I am changing the homework format for the month of June. I will assign two fortnightly plans and a list of suggested activities. You can choose the do the activities at your own pace and as always a lot of these activities are extra, so please don’t feel under any pressure to complete everything. I have given a guide below as to how much you might want to cover in each week. The theme for this fortnight will be Summer and a lot of the activities will be related to this theme in particular. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at ymangan@togherboys.com or on Microsoft Teams. Well done again for all your hard work, cooperation and dedication. I am so proud of all the boys and the effort they have been putting in on a daily basis.
