Hi everybody,

I hope everyone is keeping well. I have enclosed some work which you can try at home. Remember to continue to take care of one another!

Firstly, here is a link to your homework grid for March. There are various tasks whereby you can practise your counting, sing a song or write a list.

You can use the Splat Square to count just like we do in school. Revise you Gaeilge (Irish) on Duolingo and test your mental mathematical skills on topmarks.

 

 Tongue-twisters

A proper copper coffee pot. (x3)

Six smelly socks sit in a sink soaking in soapsuds.

Nine nice night nurses nursing nicely.
