Fifth Class Work (Múinteoir Colin)

6/5/20 to 8/5/20

Hi everyone. I hope you had a nice extended bank holiday weekend. We have a short school week this week. Now that we are using the Aladdin Connect App, I would like each student to send me in at least one piece of Homework through Aladdin this week. Some students have been sending in work already.

I would still like to see your completed colour wheels so you can send them to me on Aladdin Connect where they could get put up on the school website!

Listed below is the suggested work for this week. Try to get as much done as you can but again, don’t stress if you don’t get everything completed.
