Homework

Each evening your child will have Literacy, Numeracy, Spellings, Tables and AR tasks to complete in their workbooks. These books must be returned to school every day to be marked. We will continue to use Google Classroom this year as a link between the classroom and home. If you are not able to access this, then please contact me at school.

We look forward to an exciting year ahead.

Class Teacher is Miss Donaghy and our classroom assistants are Miss Noone and Miss Mc Gonagle
