NB: This article is to review the activity sheets and lessons for the week beginning Monday, 8 February!
Home School Hub is breaking through the dark days, like a ray of sunshine and, dare we say it...is there a bit of a stretch in the evenings already?!
So, make sure to tune in every weekday from 10am on RTÉ2 to join the class wherever you are. For students, parents and teachers this is where the lessons will be posted and the new activity sheets will be added as the week goes on.
There's some great special guests all week too! We started on Monday with Dubs legend Lyndsey Davey. We know she can take the heat in Croke Park because she is a fire fighter!
And, Magician Aidan McCann is also here with his sister Molly to show us a few tricks! They will be in again on Thursday and Friday too!!
CHECK OUT THE FULL GUEST LIST FOR THE WEEK HERE!
