Good morning girls,

I hope you are all enjoying that beautiful weather and getting outside as much as possible.

Did you get to check out the Wellbeing Task I set yesterday?

​If you missed it...click here!!

Did anyone manage to complete the sums and figure me out?

​Let me know in the comments below.

Good morning girls,

How are you all keeping?

I hope you enjoyed the sunny weather we had yesterday. I spent a few hours reading out the back garden and it was just lovely.

Remember I told you about my DIY project? Well I finally got some paint and managed to paint the tyres. All I need now is some nice plants to put inside - that will be a job for this weekend. 

I have another project lined up too. My neighbour brought me home lots of wooden pallets from work and I am going to build a corner seat and paint it too. It should definitely keep me busy for a few evenings and weekends. Here is a picture of how they look at the minute.
​Have you taken up any new hobbies since we have finished up in school?

Let me know in the comments below.

Chat soon.

Hello Ladies!
How are you all this morning? I hope you had a great weekend, Yesterday was such a lovely day, I was lucky enough to be able to walk my dogs on the beach just down the road from me. I even treated myself to an ice cream, with a flake and syrup of course! What did you get up to?

Have you all had the chance to see Ms Greene's challenge she set for the weekend? Its excellent and even gives the chance of winning a Just Eat voucher! If you haven't had a look yet I would suggest you go now and have a go at it. Also don't forget to check out the daily well being task on the website for a lovely activity.

I will be uploading a times tables revision to SeeSaw today for anyone who fancies giving it a go!

I'll leave you with a riddle:
The more I dry, the wetter I get. What am I?

Hello Girls, 

Happy Friday!!! I hope that you all have had a good week and are looking forward to the weekend. 

Time for a little throwback today, Ms Haughton found this video of you all from last year just before you made you First Communion. How cute are you all? I love this song too. Hopefully this will bring back lots of happy memories for you all! 

Enjoy the weekend everybody!

Good morning everyone, 

I hope that you are all well.  Wasn't yesterday such a lovely evening? I was lucky enough to get to the beach which is in my 5km radius. I felt like I was on my holidays! 

Check out today;s well being post, it was my turn! I decided to give some yoga to work on as I find it a great way of relaxing and clearing my mind! 

Let me know how you all get on, I'd love to hear! 

Have a great day, 
Ms farrell McCabe and Ms Haughton

Good morning girls,

I hope you are all keeping well. So yesterday we entered phase one of the reopening of our country.
​Have you noticed any changes yet?

Did you check out the new Wellbeing section on the website yet? Ms. Callinan posted a lovely activity yesterday called "My Happy Wall" and there is another today from Ms, Cassidy called "How are you feeling?"

Today I have a little riddle for you....

What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment but never in a thousand years?
Comment below with your answers.

Have a good day.
Ms. Haughton & Ms. Farrell McCabe

Good Morning Girls,

I hope everyone is feeling good this Monday morning. I hope you all had a nice weekend and that you were able to get outside for some exercise at some stage. What did you all think of the Take on the Teachers Challenge? I found it tough but I felt really good after I had done the exercise.

I would love if everyone could check out the well being daily task section of the website today. Ms Callinan has a really good idea called a Happy Wall. It's a lovely idea to remind us to think of the good things that are in everyday, even if we aren't having a good day over all!
