Hello 6th Class,

It’s hard to believe you are down to your final two weeks in primary school! How exciting it is to be moving on to secondary school; a new school full of exciting new experiences!

With this in mind, we are continuing with our preparation for secondary school this week. You will find a short activity set out for you each day to help you prepare for the move.

We are also doing our last activity for Graduation this week. On this note I’d like to say a MASSIVE thank you to those of you who completed your virtual yearbook- the standard is unbelievable and I’ve really enjoyed browsing through them; so many great memories! I can’t wait to show you the finished class book! Thanks also to everyone who completed their graduation art task!

Finally, this week marks the beginning of Active Schools Fortnight. Ordinarily at this time of the year we would be gearing up for Sports Day, so our Active Schools Team has created a variety of fun activities for you to choose from each day! Try your best to complete as many as you can each day. Good luck!

Best wishes,

Muinteoir Emma

 

MONDAY

Graduation Task

I’d really love to get more of your poems back! Don’t forget, The best entries will hopefully be displayed at your Graduation. It’s a short Acrostic Poem around the theme of ‘Graduation’ (see attachment for template- this does not need to be printed. I have also included an example of an acrostic poem as a refresher). Best of luck and don’t forget to send it back on Aladdin or to admin@naascns.ie once you have it done!

 

 

Secondary School Task

Complete the questionnaire (attached) to find out what kind of learner you are. Knowing your preferred learning style can be really useful when it comes to studying in secondary school.
