Dear Parents and children
I hope you are all well, keeping busy and getting outside as much as you can . Well done on all the work you are doing at home and I’m sure you are continuing to help your mum and dad.
Here is this week’s work. As always do not feel under pressure to complete all of it. Monday is a bank holiday so the list of work I have provided starts on Tuesday.
Please continue to send in any photos, drawings, art or writing to the website. It’s a good way for us all to stay connected!
Please continue to encourage your child to read lots and read as often as possible to them.
If you have any questions about the work set please contact me on drinaghteachers@gmail.com.
Wishing you all the best and stay safe.

Dear Parents and children
I hope you are all keeping well and safe at home. These are certainly difficult and challenging times for us all especially now we know that schools won’t re-open until September. As the days get longer and the weather improves I know it will be hard to keep your child on task to complete the work set for them.
I know that each child is different and will progress through the work at their own pace. The list of suggested work is not meant to cause stress or pressure. Only do what you can. Remember English and Mathematical activities can be done in practical ways e.g. reading recipes/instructions, writing lists, or clues for a game, counting items for dinner, playing shop etc. I will include a link at the end of this letter for you to check out. It has suggestions for some nice activities for you to do with your child. As always encourage your child to read lots and read as often as possible to them. You can do this outside when the weather permits!
I would encourage you to send a photo, a drawing or a piece of writing your child has done to the teacher’s email address. I am sure your child would love to see something they have done up on the school website.
I am aware that circumstances vary from household to household ,so it is important to stay positive and stay safe in these times.
If you have any questions about the work set please contact me on drinaghteachers@gmail.com.
Wishing you all the best and stay safe.
Kind regards

Dear Parents
I hope this letter finds you all safe and well and you are getting a chance to enjoy the good weather.
Another week of suggested activities for you to do with your child .
Do as much as you can each day and don’t forget to put any loose activity sheets into a folder or scrapbook to show me at a later date.
Try and include activities from my list before Easter each day e.g. jigsaws, board games, baking, gardening, ball games outside etc.
Continue to read to your child as often as possible and encourage them to read a wide variety of books also.
If you have any questions about the work set please contact me on drinaghteachers@gmail.com.
Wishing you all the best and stay safe.
Kind regards

Dear Parents
I hope this letter finds you all safe and well and that you managed to enjoy the Easter break despite the restrictions. I also hope everybody got plenty of Easter Eggs!
It’s back to school work now and like before the holidays I have provided a list of activities for your child to do each day. I know everybody’s circumstances are different so you know how much you can do with your child.
As I said in my previous letter it is very important for them to have a daily routine and hopefully you can factor the school work into this routine. Continue to read to your child as often as possible and encourage them to read a wide variety of books also. Anything you do will help your child in these difficult times
If you have any questions about the work set please contact me on drinaghteachers@gmail.com.
Wishing you all the best and stay safe.
Kind regards
Nora Perkins

Dear Parents
I hope this letter finds you and your family well. I know this is a difficult time for you all and I am aware that you want to continue to support your child with their education. On the next few pages are lists of suggested work you could do with your child next week. I understand that everyone’s circumstances are different (time-wise and access to the internet) so help your child to complete as many activities as you can. It is important to complete activities in the workbooks first. All other work should be written into their copies or on sheets of paper which could be stored in a folder for me to look at when next we meet.
You may need to buy some copies and a folder/scrapbook.
Some of their work involves logging onto some websites. Hopefully you will be able to do that but I understand if that is not possible.
