Dia Dhaoibh go léir,

Tá suil agam go bhfuil sibh go maith.

Most of you collected your books from the school last week and I hope having your books will help you to focus for the next month. It can be difficult to continue working but you’ll have your holidays very soon and the more you do now, the more prepared you will be for next year. Having said that, please don’t feel under any pressure to do everything. As all teachers have mentioned many times, this is the one time where there is great flexibility, we all know that some days are better than others so do what you can.

Please mind all your books, don’t discard any, we may decide to use some again next year even for a couple weeks when we go back in September hopefully. Older classes, please keep your folders with all your notes, poems, songs, tunes etc we will use them again.

Continue to go outside and stay fit. Vitamin D is very important and we get this from the sun so get plenty of fresh air. Some of you created some very interesting obstacle courses, many of you are walking, cycling, playing soccer and even climbing trees so keep it up but remember be careful!

Some of you are also being very creative – making homemade masks for family, friends and for our friends in the nursing home. Some of you are playing lots of music and learning tunes and songs online. Others are reading lots, baking and also doing the lovely art from the Hunt Museum booklet on the website. Many of you tune in to the Home school Hub and do some of the follow on activities on their site.

All teachers have lovely suggestions for you so keep an eye on all the classes and rob some of their ideas to keep your learning enjoyable.

Don’t forget to do your good deed every day. Be helpful, be kind, do what you’re told and be grateful! Mind your manners and do your best.

We’ll be in touch again soon.
