 SomeHello to everyone in Second Class, I hope you are all keeping well and working hard at home. I hope you all enjoyed your virtual school tour and sports day. I have set up the seesaw app on my phone. It is very easy to use and I think it is a quicker way of uploading work; many of the children will enjoy uploading it themselves. I hope you all like it and I’ll look forward to seeing your work on the app this week. You can also contact me by email if you wish at Katrinacumiskey@gmail.com
We are nearly at the school holidays so we are going to try to get the Maths programme completed. This week I am just giving English, Irish and Maths work.

Encourage the children to handle real coins, call out various amounts and get them to count the correct amount of coins. Encourage them to work out change from 1 euro and 2euro. Up until now the children have only been using coins up to 1 Euro, so they may find it tricky counting to 2 euro. Use a hundred square also.
