Homework Week Beginning 9th of February 2026
Message for Parents and Children:
Dear Parents and Carers,
Our Primary 4 class will be completing a home research project on a natural disaster that has taken place. Children should choose one real event to research and then create either a poster, presentation, or simple model to share with the class.
The project can be completed using materials you already have at home. Please encourage your child to find out what happened, where it happened, why it happened, and its effects.
Projects should be brought into school by the 27th of February.
Thank you for your support,
Miss McMahon
Reminders:
- Homework should be returned on a Thursday or a Friday.
- Our P.E. lessons take place on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Please remember to bring your kit.
- Please bring in any old socks for the children to use to clean their whiteboards.
