Good morning girls!
 
Happy Friday! We hope you are all feeling really well this morning.
Well done on completing another week of schoolwork at home, we are so proud of you and all your hard work!
 
A little news today -  guess who is also celebrating a birthday in lockdown today??
Ms. Holden!!!
We wish you a very happy, sunny birthday Ms. Holden and are sending you some virtual strawberries to enjoy! : )
 
And luckily for Ms. Holden – it is a bank holiday weekend – so if we had have been in school there would be a day off on Monday. So enjoy the rest day and we’ll start back with a new plan of work on Tuesday. Oh my goodness, it will be June then so we have prepared slightly different work that we know you will enjoy!
 
You may have seen this on Ms. Greene’s blog but this Sunday we are participating in a special event to show our support for Ms. Durnin and her husband Niall who became very unwell last December. Ms. Durnin is like our fairy godmother in the office- she is so calm, kind and patient, all day everyday!! No matter what we ask her, she always helps us with a smile. We are so grateful that she is our secretary and now we want to support her and her family. We will all go, insofar as possible, for a good long walk this Sunday, hopefully in the sunshine! We will then donate money on the established Go Fund me page. You might think of Ms. Durnin and her family on Sunday when you get some fresh air or you might even like to walk also at 2pm. The staff are wearing something blue on the day to show our school spirit.
Can you guess what blue item Ms. Callinan will wear this Sunday? There will be a homework pass when we return to school for the first girl who can guess what the blue item will be!! Comment on the blog here with your answer! Good luck!  : )
 
Good luck with your spelling test today and enjoy some P.E. in the fresh air if possible!!
 
Here’s today’s timetable!
Timetable :
  1. Spelling Test + a dictation sentence if you can.
  2. E.I.P.
  3. Handwriting practise.
  4. Mental Maths
  5. Maths : Counting work, then Busy at Maths work : pg. 126 – count in 5s.
  6. Irish – see school website.
  7. P.E. – see school website.
  8. S.P.H.E. – Water safety – thinking of the summer ahead!
Check out the ‘Well-being’ section of the website. Under the ‘Daily Task’ you will find just that. Let us know how you are getting on with the tasks, we’d love to hear from you. You might decide to do the daily task instead of a different subject on the timetable and that is ok girls, just please try to get your English and maths done first!
  1. Religion : Prayers- Act of Sorrow, Mass responses, Revision : ‘Zacchaeus’ story on Twinkl.
 
Have a super, safe weekend!
Mind yourselves,
Ms. Callinan and Ms. Holden.
 
P.S. Sorry for the very long blog – I know myself and Ms. Holden are chatterboxes ; ) but there was just a lot of news for us today! : )

That last sentence Maisy should have said 'Now, isn't that a great start to your new school year!' Not 'new school'! Forgive my hay fever-fuzzy brain today!!

Thank you, Caoimhe. It is strange to have a birthday in quarantine, only seeing friends on the computer! Enjoy the pool. Perfect weather for it!
