Hi everyone,
I hope you are all keeping well as we continue to work together. We are all hopeful that we will be back to normal soon but until then we will all continue to do the best we can. Everyone is working well at home and is doing great work on Seesaw. I know it takes a bit of getting used to but I think we are all doing a great job.
I am going to start laying some of the work out on more of a daily basis from now on to make it a bit easier to follow. Some of the work will be based in the children’s books but Ms. O’Sullivan and I will also be putting some exercises on Seesaw each day. Most of them will be Maths, English and Irish but I will also throw in some for SESE, SPHE or Art also. However, as before this is just a suggestion and the work can be completed in any order you like. Only do what you feel your child is able for.
I have sent details about the Active Home Challenge in an email. This is a great way to stay active and also covers P.E. If you do any of these activities then please send me some photos of you being active so that we can share them on the website and on the school twitter account.
I would also recommend watching RTE school hub as they have some great lessons and activities.
Cúl4 on TG4 are also running lessons in Gaeilge each morning at 10am which can help with Irish.
Thanks again for your continued support as we navigate this new way of teaching and learning.
I have really been enjoying seeing all of your work on Seesaw and by email. It’s great to hear about how you are all getting on while we are at home and of all the things you have been doing with your families.
If anyone needs an access code for Seesaw then please email me.
If you have any further questions, Ms. O’Sullivan and I will gladly be of assistance.
Kind regards,
Ms. Lanigan.
