Hi Courtney,
Your comment bought a big smile to face.😊 It was so thoughtful of you to think of me and my family. We are all well. I get pictures every day of the twins and Oisín from my brother John and I video call Grace so I can keep in touch with her too. She recently got a new cat called 'Milseáin' so she is busy running around after her and unfortunately pulling her tail! 🙈 Poor Milseáin!
I miss you and all the girls in Room.1!
How are you and Lilly?

Hi Cara,
How are you? Thanks for leaving us a comment. We love to hear from all our girls! Ms Farrell and I set work so that you have a focus for your day but if you cant get everything done or if you find one part of IXL tricky just skip it and move on to the next part. All we want for you is to try your best and do a bit of work every school day. Any bits that you cant do will be covered when we return to school😁

Hi Ella 👋🏻 Hope you’re doing well! The work we have set so far is to include this coming week. We won’t be setting work for the Easter Holidays as we want you girls to take a break. If the schools remain closed after Easter we will have new work set for you all and we plan to make it more interactive for you
Missing you all,
Ms. Farrell 😊

Aw Laila, thank you so much for the message ☺️ I’m sure you’re being a great help at home, as you always are in school. We feel the exact same way! I’m trying to keep myself busy with lots of reading. I was on the phone to Ms. Cassidy today and we were just saying how much we’d love to be in school with you all tomorrow morning. Missing all my girls!

Hi Trudi, no need to worry about week 26 😊 Only do the work that we’ve set out so far and if you’ve finished that, well done to you 👍🏻 If you need to go over any days you may have missed feel free to do so and there’s always IXL or other online maths games if you’re stuck for something to do.
Have a lovely day,
Ms. Farrell

How are you Ms Cassidy? I miss you ,school and everyone else in Room 1.A question on IXL is a bit hard for me but I'm trying my best. Can't wait for this COVID-19 to be over so that everything can get back to normal. 😫

Hi Tanesha,
I am very well thank you. I went for a wall this morning and enjoyed listening to all the birds sing! If the question is hard just skip it and move on to the next one. All you can do is try your best. I too am looking forward to the day when we are all back together in room 1.
Have a lovely day,

Great to hear from you all! Please let the other girls know that you are using this comment section so that they too can keep in touch with us. Ms Farrell and I would love to hear from you all. We too miss school. Let's make sure to remember to do acts of kindness for our families. You are the best helpers in school so I'm sure you will put the same effort into helping out at home.👌👏

Thanks for getting in touch! 😁 I hope you are keeping well? I've just finished a chapter of a new book I got in today's post. Are you reading in the evening? In answer to your question we want you to do one page of 'Read at Home' every school day(Don't forget the questions too)

Hi Abbie,
So good to hear from you! 👋I am very well thank you as is your teacher Ms. Farrell. We are busy planning lots of fun engaging work for our girls to do after Easter. 🐰Part of that work will be going over the Confirmation mass responces. We continue to work towards our Confirmation mass in the hope that it will go ahead and we will be back in school. Fr. Frank and Ms. Greene are keeping a close eye on things and will keep you updated in the weeks to come. We are looking forward to seeing all the Confirmation projects and work packs! 😊👍

Good morning girls!
How are you all today? Did you all have a lovely Easter? I missed not traveling home to see my family in Mayo but I took comfort by knowing that by following the government guidelines and staying at home I was helping to keep both myself, my family and everyone else in this beautiful country of ours safe. Don’t worry I still managed to eat an M&M Easter Egg on Easter Sunday!🐥😍

We know that today is your first day back at your ‘home desk’ in over two weeks. We are all rested after the break so let’s make a good start today at our work which will give us structure to our week ahead. Ms. Farrell has put a lot of work and time into creating a fun and interactive way for you to do this through using the website ‘Padlet Page’. Remember, try your best every day, if you don’t get everything finished it will be ok. It’s a beautiful day outside so use P.E as a movement break in between subjects. Don’t forget ‘social distancing’. Everyone has a part to play and if we follow the rules we will see each other sooner.

We miss you all girls, please write to us on this part of the website as often as you like so that we can keep in touch. Today, we would love to hear from you all about how you spent your Easter holidays.

Take care,
Ms. Cassidy and Ms. Farrell

Girls we would love nothing more than to be back in school with you all but we can’t be the ones to make that decision. The government have to decide whether or not it’s safe for us to do so. Hopefully we do and we’d love to see you all soon! In the meantime, we have to try our best by social distancing and doing what we can home
