Hi girls,
I hope you are all well!
I was really delighted to get a few emails this week letting me know what you did to show your appreciation for your parents and siblings. There were some lovely, simple ideas that I’m sure meant a lot to the people in your home. Well done and keep it up!
I’ve received a few pictures of what you’ve been getting up to but please do send some more in for me to put up on the website! It’s a lovely way for us all to keep in touch. I miss you very much and I love getting emails and pictures from you.
This week Mrs. Kealy sent me on something REALLY exciting that I think you’ll love just as much as I did. Have a look at your English work to see what it is! 😊
I know that lots of you are missing school and I am too, but I am so proud of how well you’re working at home. I know from talking to lots of your parents over email that they are too. Keep up the hard work girls, it will make it so much easier for you when we do get back to school.
Take care and be good!
Miss Amy Ryan.

A challenge for 5th and 6th class.
This week we are putting a challenge out there for everyone in 5th and 6th to take part in.
We want to see what you are doing when you are out and about on walks and cycles etc. So get out your camera and take a picture of yourself or those you are in lockdown with somewhere outside in nature.
Miss. Flanagan took one of her son in a beautiful field of yellow flowers.
When we look at that we will always remember that it was 2020 and the Covid 19 pandemic was in full swing.
All photos to be emailed to your class teacher by the 22nd May.
We hope to put them together in a collage/montage in the future. Have fun and be creative!!!
