Good morning girls!

I hope you are all doing ok. I've loads of work to do today because I decided to take a break yesterday and enjoy St Patrick's Day. I dressed in green and FaceTimed all my family and friends and joined in with their celebrations remotely!

So, I don't know if you heard the news that our Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, made a really important speech on the telly last night. He spoke about how important it is that we are all keeping our distance from each other- that means no going out to play with groups of friends, no going to the shops to meet your pals and being really healthy about washing your hands. In the speech he also spoke about the important role the children of Ireland have in helping us all get through these unusual days. He has actually given you three jobs to do, and if the Taoiseach asks you to do jobs- you know you better do them! So here they are: 1. Ring and FaceTime your Grandparents lots. 2. Do your schoolwork 3. Ask your parents how you can help them.

I was thinking as well girls that it's Mother's Day on Sunday and normally your teacher would give you time to make a card for your lovely mammies. I know you can buy them in shops, but mammies love getting homemade cards too! So this week,make sure part of your creative time is making a card for your mammy. Make sure you write a lovely message in your card about all the reasons you love her so much.

Ok girls, I've got to get moving here and start work.
Slán,
Ms Greene

Good morning girls!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!! I hope you all have pictures and decorations in your windows to celebrate today. I'm off for a walk in the Phoenix Park now before lots of people arrive. I hope you and your family can get out for some fresh air today. 

Why don't you put on a céilí for your family? You could teach them the dance you learned with your teacher and you could perform the poem/song you were going to do for them? I can't wait to hear all about what you did this year for St. Patrick's Day- it will be so different from other years, we'll never forget it!

Slán,

Good morning girls!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend with your families. I know at the moment things are a bit unusual but if we all do what the government are telling us to do, it will hopefully only be for a short while. I managed to get out for two walks in the Phoenix Park very early in the morning on Saturday and Sunday when there was hardly anyone around. Fingers crossed the weather stays nice so I can do that every morning! 

I know it can be very hard to stay inside and not go out to play with your friends but we have to do it to make sure everyone stays healthy, especially when you come back to school. And you are SO lucky to be living with your family- I'm here all by myself! 

So I hope you are all ready to work hard today- I have loads of work to do and I will have to FaceTime Ms Durnin a lot! Don't forget to do English, Irish and Maths every day plus at least one other subject. Maybe tomorrow I'll put up a photo of my little office so you can see where I'm working!

Here's an idea for you- why don't you draw a picture for St Patrick's Day to stick up in your front window tomorrow morning to celebrate.

Slán girls,
Ms Greene

Good morning girls,
I will try and leave a message for you here every day! I hope you are ready to work hard today and have set your little school up at home! Make sure you have everything you need in front of you- books, copies, pencils, pens etc.

Your teachers have work ready for you and you should spend about 3-4 hours per day working through the lists. Take your time, and don't worry if you find something too hard- ask an adult for help- and if you still don't know what to do, ask the adult to write a little note to your teacher. But you have to try your best to do everything! 

Don't forget to take some movement breaks, because you would NEVER be sitting in your chairs in school for 3-4 hours without a break!! Our lunch breaks are at 10.50am and 12.30pm so if you're starting to feel a bit hungry around those times get yourselves a healthy snack and some lunch.

Now be as good for your parents as you are for me and your teachers! You know we all think you are fantastic, so don't let me down.

I'll leave you a little message in the morning- I've lots of work to do here in my new little office at home.
Slán,
​Ms Greene
