Holidays!!

Well boys and girls! I can't believe we have come to the end of the school year. What a strange year it has been! I just want to say that I am so proud of each and every one of you. You have been a great 1st and 2nd class. Since 'lockdown' began, you have continued to work hard and do your best. I know it has not been easy. It's different when you are in school and you have to do your work. At home, it's not the same....you probably found it harder to concentrate. However, I have been so impressed with you all with all the work and effort you have put in. You have really outdone yourselves. You should be very proud of yourselves! I also want to thank your parents. Thank you Mammy and Daddy for all the support you have shown, it is very much appreciated. I know that it can't have been easy, perhaps some of you were working on top of having to do work with your children. You can take a well deserved break! I hope that we will be 'back to normal' in September. I also hope to see you all on Wednesday.

Virtual School Tour June 15th - 19th

Hello boys and girls,
Well done to you all on a great weeks work! Imagine this is the end of the school year. It's hard to believe we are at this stage. It has been a very strange and very different school year and one I am sure we will not forget. You have all done a great job keeping up with all the work. I know it can't have been easy. For this week, I am not setting any 'proper work'. However, if you wish to continue with your workbooks and send me work, you are more than welcome to do so. I will look at it and send corrections as normal.

This week, we would have probably been going on a school tour. So, I want you to pick a day this week, make a packed lunch and pretend it is your school tour day. Then you can go on a Virtual Tour of Dublin Zoo. I have put up a link here...….hopefully it works! Give it a go.
If you want, you can draw a picture of your favourite part or write about it.....but only if you want!

If this doesn't work, I apologise in advance. You could type 'Dublin zoo virtual tour ' into google and get into it that way.

There are lots of workbooks on the zoo if you want to try them! Here is the link.

Here are some mindfulness colouring sheets if you are able to print them!

Hello boys and girls,
Firstly, I want to say Well done to everyone who took part in Sports Week. I will be sending you a certificate to print off  - or at least I will be attempting to!!! Thank you also for sending me your work. You are doing brilliantly! It is Water Safety Week this week and there are details on the main page of the blog. I will be emailing you all with a Water Safety Work Pack should you wish to print it off or perhaps, if you cannot do this the children might be able to draw pictures or write a few sentences about water safety in their copies.

Here is some work to keep you busy should you wish to do it! I know it is difficult to keep motivated at this time of the year especially in the situation we are in and if there are older siblings completely finished for the year. So just do what you can!

Hello boys and girls,
I hope you have had a lovely Bank Holiday weekend. We really have been blessed with lovely weather. It's great to enjoy the good weather but remember the suncream and drink plenty. Thank you to all who have sent in your work. You are all doing really well. I can't believe it is June! I know it becoming more difficult for you all to stick with this Distance/Remote Learning. We are nearing the end of our School Year. The weather is good and we feel like we are already on holidays. There are only a few weeks left though. So do what you can even if it is only a little bit!
This week we are having Remote Sports Week!! All the details are on the main page of the blog! Good Luck! Have fun! We would love to see pictures or hear how you are doing.
