Hi everyone,
I hope you’re all well. Well done for all your brilliant work over the last few months. It’s been a very strange time, but you’ve done a brilliant job along the way. Thank you!
This is our last week of 1st class, so we have a few ideas of fun activities you can do at home to end the school year. I hope you enjoy them! If you would like to send me any photos, please email me at isolde.clynes@stmarysfairview.ie. Keep an eye on our class Twitter @MsClynes1st for photos, links and activities.
We know that for the boys, this may be a tricky time of year while they are thinking about leaving St. Mary’s and going to their new school. We have put together an activity pack which will hopefully help the boys with this transition. Transition to 2nd Class – Boys going to a new school..pdf
We will be sending a special goodbye message later in the week! ☺️So please keep an eye on your email!
