Suggested Activities for Room 2 – 18th – 22nd May

Hi Everyone in Room 2,Hope you are all well and have had a good week. I wonder did you learn the Hócaí Pócaí or try making my banana bread! I tried out a few more recipes this week and got out on my bike now that we can go 5km from our house. Keep washing your hands and helping at home!I have some more suggestions for you this week of work you can do. I don’t expect you to do it all! Please get some exercise, read every day and maybe try my baking challenge – Brown Soda Bread.

Have a great week everyone,Be Good, Be Kind agus Nigh do Lámha (Wash your Hands) Mrs. Nolan

Handwriting – next 2 pages (pupils on various pages so just continue the practise). If you have a blue and red line copy, use that to write your words and sentences. Tall letters reach up to the red line eg. l,k,d, b and some letters hang under the blue line eg. j,g,p,q. t and f sit between the red and top blue line. Capitals reach up high to the red line.

Blue & Red line copies will be very helpful if you have them or can get them.
