Hi Boys and Girls,

I hope you are all keeping well. Congratulations on making it to your last month of Primary School! Thank you for all the great work/photos you have been sending in. I am so proud of you when I see the work you’ve been sending me.

Firstly, I want to announce that the winners for the Caption Competition last week are Zak and Luke, Well Done to you both 😊 I’ll be posting them up on our school website shortly.

I hope you have been checking out the outstanding work your class have been doing. It’s up on the 6th Class blog at www.naascns.ie

Now that it is June, we are stepping away from the books and focusing on a variety of themed activities over the coming weeks.

This week our focus is GMGY, where we are exploring the theme of “Home.” You will see a variety of activities suggested each day, but you only need to choose one activity to do each day. Don’t forget to send in photos of your creations if you are able, via Aladdin or by sending them to admin@naascns.ie

Finally, thank you to anyone who has already sent back their “Most Likely To…” voting page. The suggestions are great, keep them coming in! I will attach the voting page again this week in case you didn’t get a chance to do it last week.

Missing you all,

All the best,

Múinteoir Emma
