Hi Class!
I hope you all had a lovely weekend.
I saw some lambs on one of my walks. I tried to get closer to them but the ewe (their mother) got a little bit protective!
Let me know if you have seen any signs of Spring recently.

Looking forward to hearing from you and seeing your pictures!

Hi Class!

I hope you and your families are all very well and that you are keeping busy and helping around the house as much as possible. I have been doing lots of baking, walking and reading!
If you would like to send me some photos of any nice activities you have been doing at home, I will post them to this page.
My email address is: 4thclassmsmccormack@gmail.com

Here are some ideas to help you stay busy!

Make a Time Capsule! Here are instructions on how to do so: time_to_create_a_time_capsule.docx
Keep a diary. Each day write an entry of the things that are happening in your home and in the world.This might be nice to read over in years to come.
The author Oliver Jeffers is reading a book a day aloud on his website: www.oliverjeffers.com/abookaday You might like to watch and listen to this with your younger siblings! Let me know what you think!
Art: Pick an area of your garden and imagine what it looks like underground (you could also pick an area of a park that you have visited recently). Draw and colour the trees and plants in your garden, include what you imagine it to look like underground. Here are some ideas to help you get started: inspiration_for_garden_plus_underground_drawing.docx

Here is the suggested list of work I gave to you on our last day: suggested_work_to_complete_during_school_closure.docx This maybe helpful for those who were absent.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
