Good morning girls!
Happy Friday!!
 
We hope you are all really well this morning, on the 1st of May. May is the month in which we celebrate Our Lady, Mary. Today is also a noteworthy day because our Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, will make a special announcement this afternoon about how we can continue to stay safe over the next while. I know we all want to be back in school and playing with our friends but you have been amazing so far in keeping each other safe and well, so let’s keep it up and then we can see each other when it is safe to do so. We won’t get any work done because we’ll all be chatting so much!
 
This is also a bank holiday weekend, so if we were in school, we would have had no school this coming Monday. So for this reason, our next plan of work will start from next Tuesday.  Again, you will find it in the ‘Enforced closures’ section of the website. Have a good rest this weekend and some fun and we hope you get lots of fresh air, safely, when the sun shines. And we will start our new work so next Tuesday. Don’t forget you can ask us questions in the comments section of the blog or just write a message to say hi or tell us your news! We love reading your comments everyday – they put a smile on our faces!
 
P.S. Check your postboxes next week, with permission of course! Ms. Holden and Ms. Callinan are posting a little something today to your homes and we really enjoyed this activity. It helped us feel connected to our great classes and we hope you like it! Just remember that the postmen and postwomen are incredibly busy at the moment. They are real heroes in our communities delivering post, news, gifts and messages to our homes. The post can take longer to arrive these days – Rebecca’s granny and aunty posted her some cards on the same day and only one has arrived so far! So, don’t worry if your postbox is empty the first day, it is on its way!
 
Mind yourselves and your families and we’ll talk to you next week!
Ms. Callinan and Ms. Holden.
 

 P.P.S. This is today's roll call and Jackie will announce the BEST ATTENDANCE AWARD ​today. Good luck!

Hello Marta!
Well done you on reading all of that! I'm delighted you found it interesting. What was your favourite part? Perhaps you might like to read it a second time - I love re-reading books and enjoying them all over again and sometimes I find I notice new things about the story the second time.
Me too Marta! Once we're all safe to do so! Keep up your hard work - you're doing fantastic work! So proud of you. and isn't it great we can at least keep in touch on the blog. Imagine if this happened when Ms. Callinan and Ms. Holden were in second class and there were no devices! Eek!!
Enjoy the break this weekend and the sunshine.
Take care,
Ms.Callinan.

Hi Ms.Callinan,I can't read ''The Magic Finger''.
Because I gave it to Olivia.P.
I will read it again when Olivia.P will finish it.
My favorite part is when they turn into a bird,it was very funny.
Stay safe,
Marta😊

Hi Mia. I was so excited about writing to everyone and trying to fit lots in, that it may have been a bit tricky for you. Don't worry about your school work, just do your best. I bet Jakob likes having you at home to play with. Have a good weekend

Hi Ruby. You are very welcome. I had great fun writing to everyone! I agree it is lovely to get post, isn't it? I usually send postcards from holidays so it was a bit strange to send postcards from my kitchen! I hope you and your family have a great weekend

Hello Julia! So lovely to hear from you and I hope you and your family are really well. I'm glad you're having great fun with Victoria, I was thinking you would. I bet you are a super help to your Mam and Dad also! I really miss your friendly, warm smile everyday Julia along with your good humour and optimism! I'm really looking forward to seeing you when it is safe for us to be back to school and we'll have such fun chatting about all the news - we better not tell Ms.Greene that we won't get much work done.
Enjoy the long weekend - I hear the weather will be nice so enjoy the sunshine. I bet you've made up lots of fun new games.
Take care,
Ms. Callinan.

Hi Ms. Holden and Ms. Hanly it is Holly here.
I really miss school very much. We are going on lots of walks and I am using my scooter. We are doing baking and we had a movie night with lots of yummy goodies. We got a little pool when the weather was really nice it was so much fun. At the beginning of this week i wrote a Happy List of the fun things I wanted to do. It was a really good idea because I like ticking off the boxes. Me and Julia even talked on FaceTime. I miss all my class. I really hope to see you soon. Love Holly x

Hi Holly! You're very welcome. It sounds like you have been very busy. What was your favourite baking success? I am glad you are getting out to enjoy the sunshine and some scooter time. I love the sound of a Happy List. I think I'll create one for myself too. Take care

Hello Holly!

Thank you for thinking of me in your lovely note! It sounds like you are so busy! I'd love to hear more about that happy list. Like Ms Holden said, I might make one of my own! Here are some things that are making me happy today - the sunshine, yoga and lots of cups of tea!
I hope to see you really soon too. Keep up the good work!

Hi Aoibhín. I'm glad we got to chat; I don't want anyone to be worrying about school work. Do your best and don't get stressed is what I always say! It's a good idea to look at the resources on the website for Irish ideas. Keep up the football practice. Take care
