Hi everyone,

Once again I would like to say thank you for all the great work that is being done at home, both on Seesaw and in the children’s books. I really appreciate the effort that everyone is making.

Below is a suggested scheme of work. As always there is no pressure to complete all of this work. Do as much as you are able for and in any order that you like. Ms. O’Sullivan and I will continue to put activities on Seesaw each day but this can be done whenever you like. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at mslanigansnc@gmail.com or msosullivansnc@gmail.com.

Kind regards,

Miss Lanigan.

Having fun and using your imagination can really help your well-being! So use your

creativity now to design some totally new creatures, based on combining two or

three other animals. Draw them and don’t forget to name them,

based on the animals you combined! For example, the Sleebra below is a mixture

of a lion, a zebra and a snake! Think of other ways to use your creativity and

imagination today!

Look at the activity on Seesaw for creating new creatures.
