2nd  Class – Last week - 22nd- 25th June

Hi everyone,
We’re in our final week of term. I’d like to say well done to all for your hard work this term. You’ve all done a great job working at home and sending in your work etc. Handwriting books and mental maths weeks can be finished in your own time and would recommend that you do these over the summer to keep the mind sharp. Reading regularly is very important and this should be done also when possible.
Thank you everyone for your cooperation over the last term. It made my work much easier. Thank you all for your feedback also as it was invaluable in adapting the online material. I wish you all a great summer holiday and we can all see a horizon with better days already! All the best and we’ll see you all in September!

With regard to Busy at Maths, some people don't have these busy at maths pages done. So my plan is, seen as we're ahead of ourselves with the busy at maths anyway I'm just going to upload some extra maths pages on the google classroom page and let everyone else get up to speed. I'll be continuing on from page 130 then from next Monday.

​Read theory => A couple of people have been wondering about the first reading exercise thinking that it's very difficult. This one is just to put them into their appropriate reading level so it's important that they don't get any help with it. (Mr. Curran has a piece about this anyway on the main page).

Note to Parents
Hi all. I hope you’re all doing well and keeping safe as usual. Just with regard to the work above, please don’t feel under any pressure to get all of this completed or in any time frame. Just do what you can, it’s only a working guide. Wherever you find it difficult to complete anything you can contact me on my teacher email address   mrkilkenny@johnstownns.ie  or you can leave it for a later stage. I will provide any pages necessary also during the week if necessary, but all books as I already mentioned can be accessed online for free. Gaeilge will also be provided in some form in the coming days also. This will just be a start. Try to keep an eye on the site each day as there may be changes etc.
Take care,
Bryan Kilkenny.
