Good morning ladies!
Happy Wednesday! Wednesday already - how did that happen?! Are you enjoying the sunshine? We hope so.

Ms. Holden and Ms. Callinan had a lovely day yesterday, ringing your parents and getting to speak to some of you! It made our week! And yes, whilst it was strange ringing you and not seeing you in person, it was still so nice to hear your voice! Though, I'm not sure if it was as nice to hear Ms. Callinan's nagging voice! Ha ha! We are so proud of how you are all doing and how well you are managing your work because it is not easy so keep up your excellent efforts! And remember every day is a new day!
We also heard of all the super ways you keep yourselves busy outside of schoolwork. Sounds like we have some amazing projects to look at when we return to school. We're delighted you're enjoying 'The Magic Finger'. Phew for Ms. Callinan and Ms. Holden that we are not in school reading that as we can only imagine the tricks you could have played on us if you had all developed magic fingers!! And remember every day is a new day!
So, if your parent receives a phonecall from an unknown number, it is more than likely Ms. Callinan or Ms. Holden. Don't worry if we missed you, we will try again this week as it is our number one job on our to-do lists for this week!

This is a reminder of the timetable we posted on the comments section before and it might help guide you. 
This is only a guide now - the most important thing is to do what suits you and your family best on any given day!!
If the sun shines on Monday, you might want to do extra P.E. outside and save music for a wet, rainy day! You might want to do your history project everyday for a few days and then move onto geography, for example. Good luck and enjoy! 

Timetable :
Start with english and then maths everyday! 
Perhaps you could try some of the Gaeilge activities mentioned in the 'online resources' section of the website after maths.
Then :
Monday : History, Music, Religion
Tuesday : Geography, P.E., Religion
Wednesday : Science, Music, Religion
Thursday : Art, catch- up projects work, Religion
Friday : Test spellings, P.E., SPHE, Religion

Little change now girls - there will be no rolla here now to click into in the mornings. But please make sure you read the blog if you can and don't forget to post some comments as we love hearing from you!

Have a lovely 
sunny day!
Ms. Callinan and Ms. Holden.

Good morning Ms. Callinan. Thank you very much for the post card. I was so surprised when mom said that is the post with me name on it. Thanks again. Have a lovely day

Ms. Callinan

Hello Julia!
You are so welcome and I'm so glad it made its way to you. Writing those postcards and the phonecalls home have been my favourite tasks so far. I can't tell you how nice it was to speak to you earlier and hear your sunny voice. Keep up your excellent work and enjoy the sunny afternoon on your scooter!
Take care,
Ms. Callinan.

Hello Saoirse!
Lovely to hear from you and I'm so glad you received the postcard. Had such a lovely time writing them - they weren't big enough for me!!
Sounds like you're having great fun in the sun and lots of fresh air and that's great to hear! A yummy bbq - great! Hope your dog didn't sneak too many sausages!
4 more sleeps now until your birthday! I hope the sun shines for it and I'll be thinking of you. And the best thing is - it's on a Sunday so no schoolwork! Yippee!
Stay safe,
Ms. Callinan.

Just checking about the science homework it’s says to use the picture in page 80 of the online book ... what is the name of the book ?

Ms. Holden

Hi. The science is in the SESE section online. The book is called 'Small World'.
