Below is a list of suggested work for the week. See it as a guide for your learning, but you know what you can manage and what is too much. If you feel the work is too much maybe just answer 4 or 5 out of the questions for the novel each day. Remember in class I often give different amounts of work to different boys, maybe use that as a judgement as to how many I would suggest you do. But remember when you cut down on the amount, the quality of what you do has to be very high!
Try starting at 9:20 in the morning and working right through to 10:20, maybe take a 10-15 minute break and then do another 30 minutes before watching home-school hub. Research for projects can be part of bedtime reading, or watch documentaries on tv in the evening.
You boys in 6th class are preparing for going to secondary school where you will be expected to work on your own, just see this as a practice. I know its hard to concentrate at home, it would be much easier in school but we have to do our best. Ár ndícheall i gconaí. In saying that, you can only do your best, so don't stress about it.
Please email me in some pictures that I can put up on the blog, I've heard from some of you and would love to hear from more! Keep safe!
