3rd Class: 2nd June 2020
Hi boys and girls of 3rd class,
It was great to see so many of you on Wednesday when you came into school to collect your books. It made us realise how much we miss you all! You have all grown so much since we last saw you.
This week we have a lovely surprise for you all. We have decided to read and record a lovely novel called Ickabog for you, written by the famous author JK Rowling. You can listen to the first five chapters by clicking on the links. Listen carefully because we have some questions for you at the end of each chapter to see if you have been listening carefully. You will have to wait until next week to hear the next chapters. Can you identify which chapter your teacher reads?
We are delighted with the super effort that third class are making with their Mathletics! Can you make the top ten in Mathletics this week? Remember there are lots of points to be earned from Live Mathletics also.
We look forward every morning to checking our emails and hearing from you. Don’t forget to keep in touch and send us back any work that you have done.
Use the following email address: thirdclasswork@scoil-bhride.com
This week you have no work assigned on Monday as it is a bank holiday so enjoy your day off in the sunshine!
Stay safe, keep well and remember to put on sun cream in this very warm weather!
Ms Lanham, Mr Wall, Ms Carroll, Ms Fleming, Mr Bartley, Ms McCarthy, Mr Mulligan and Mr Monaghan.
The Ickabog by J.K. Rowling
