Hi everybody,
I hope you are well and keeping busy. When the weather is nice, its great to get some fresh air. If you have a garden, you can look for the signs of spring all around us now. You could even hide some eggs, make a map and have an egg hunt for other people in your family!
Below is a really interesting website where you can look up information on lots of topics- octopuses, the Grand Canyon in America, and even sailing. You can explore places around the world and look up science projects too!

Please don’t worry if you cannot get through the activities that I’ve assigned below. Choose a book or topic that interests you to get you going and just do your best. A little bit every day makes all the difference and will make school a bit easier when we return. If you cant print something out, don’t worry you can copy it onto a notebook or copy, whatever you have.
I can’t wait to get back to school, it feels like a very long time since I’ve seen you all.
Warm regards,
L McGovern
