Hi girls. How are you all keeping? I see some fantastic work every day on Seesaw. Well done and keep it going!  

 

  •  This week is Active HOME Week. I know you all are very active girls. I hope you can exercise every day. Make sure to always include lots of fun exercises and active schoolwork during the week. Look at the school website to get some ideas and see the teachers in action! Enjoy the fun! 

  

  • This week I want you to read a selection of recipes for yummy smoothies. I have added a picture of the recipes to Seesaw.  You can find the instructions on page 7 of the online book: https://my.cjfallon.ie/preview/student/34511/1
