Dia dhaoibh páistí...Conas atá sibh go léir? Tá súil agam go bhfuil sibh go maith agus ag baint taitneamh as an aimsir maith.
So this week is School Tours Week and every day on Aladdin, you will have a chance to go on a virtual school tour, and do some fun activities afterwards. Its a pity we can't actually go on tour because that would be great, but don't worry, there will be other times to go and maybe later in the summer you may get a chance to visit some places of interest with your families.
If there is a lot of demand on devices at home and you can only get a short time on a device to allow another family member to use it, or if you just want to cut back on screen time and get outdoors or active, have a look at the outdoor activities section of the website for a 'Camping' school tour where you can find a little spot in your house or garden and do some nice activities.

Also a reminder of the Le Chéile agus óna chéile Art Project. Thank you to all of you who have sent in art piece. They are lovely and show how resilient and hopeful you all are despite it being such an unusual and uncertain time at the moment. You have until this Wednesday 10th June to send in your picture....drop it to school foyer or email it to agillick@newtownprimary.ie We will be displaying them in the village on Friday and will put up details on that at the end of the week. So lets all get on board to make it a really cool project.
It might be nice to continue on this week with some of the Wellbeing activities from last week: the gratitude journal is a nice way to stay in touch with all the good things in our day, and to take note of little improvements we can make. We can feel better in ourselves when we see how we are making progress and being in charge of how we respond to things that annoy us upset us. Talking to someone at bedtime or dinnertime about highs and lows of the day is a nice way to share with our family too.
Keep an eye on the blog throughout the week. I will post up a few updates and maybe a few other ideas of activities you can be doing. Once again, I would love to hear from you....you can send an email or pictures of your work or activities...let me know what you are up to. I'm sure your friends would all love to see what you are keeping busy with. If I got a picture from all of you, I could post up a class catch up at the end of the week.
Remember to help out a bit at home, get outdoors, be creative, read, play, sing, have some quiet time and be active!
Mind yourselves and stay in touch!
