So wonderful to hear from you all! Lots of adventures and stories and so many of you doing wonderful amazing things in your time away from school. Its such a special time to explore learning in activities we don't get to do at school while also spending quality time with our family, Not so good to be away from our friends but slowly things will begin to change again and we will start to see one another once again. In the meantime let's have a look at what some of the class have been getting up to. And if you have forgotten to send in news, don't worry, it's not too late to send in a picture or some news as this will be updated again.
First, here are a few letters.....
First, here are a few letters.....
It's Emily Leyden here. I hope you are keeping safe & well.
I miss school, I miss playing with all my friends. I've been drawing pictures, we've been going for walks, playing outside in the garden a lot. I got a new go cart & I'm playing a lot on the swing.
I love playing with Isabelle, Tiegan, Amy, Lauren, Emily Murphy, Logan, Jackson and Robyn & I'm missing them all a lot.
I've lost 2 teeth!! The tooth fairy came. Lily has learned how to walk & she is a thug!
I drew a picture of happy summer flowers for you & my friends. I hope to see you all soon!
Love & happy rainbows!!

Hello
It was so nice to hear from you. I have lots of news. I love my swimming pool. I go for walks with Mammy, Daddy and Anna. I love going on adventures looking for fairies. It has not rained in a long time. It's been sunny.
Everything is growing. The butterflies are flying everywhere. I like being outside and having a picnic. I watched a tv programme about alligators.
The best thing is I nearly have the whole collection of mini Beenie boos. I’m just waiting for corona virus to be over until I can finish off my collection.
I miss my friend Clara. I can't wait to go back to school. My sister Anna is starting school in September. I will hold her hand. I call my Oma in Germany every day. The corona virus is there too. I pick flowers every day.

Hi teacher
Hope you're keeping well. I love you and miss you and my friends so much. I’ve been playing outside loads on my trampoline and on my bike. We go for so many walks and we’re cooking loads of cakes Mum says we have to stop cause she keeps eating them all! James and I also got two new mice. Dad is afraid of them. We also did a sponsored walk for Barnardos with our little cousin Holly and we raised €315. We were looking at the tadpoles.
Can’t wait to see you and big hello to Tess.
Bye teacher love you.

Thank you for that lovely letter Isabelle....I can understand your mammy eating all that cake...it looks delicious!!! I bet there wasn't much left!
You are amazing raising all that money to help other children who are not as fortunate as you. Well done, that is something to be proud of.

Hello
I was so excited when Mom read your letter to me. I hope you are well and happy. I am doing good and I have been busy with Mom and Dad and my little brother Joseph. He is annoying sometimes but mostly we have lots of fun in the garden on the trampaline and now we got our paddling pool out as the weather is nice and sunny. I made a lego tree house (well Mom helped me) and I have been going for forest walks and going on my scooter. I have also got to level 2 on Teach My Monster to Read.
I really miss you and my friends but it is good to be spending time at home too and soon I will be able to go to Galway to visit my grandparents.
Take care,
Lauren

Klara has been very busy with the important business of eating ice-cream! And of course playing with her dogs! They look like they are having lots of fun! And I hear a tooth was lost!. Did the tooth fairy come?
Wowser Dexter! Look at this lego...it looks like you have put a lot of time, effort and creativity into this. A lego fortress...now that's impressive! Do you add a little bit everyday. I love it. Its cool.
