6th class, you are all doing fabulous. You are almost at the end of 5 weeks learning from home and you are doing some wonderful work. Remember at the beginning of this term, we spoke about how we can see opportunity in times of adversity? Well we have seen you all embrace this great opportunity to upskill in the digital world; skills that you will use in your future no matter what path you take. We have seen you organise and plan your days , to manage your workload, plan when assignments need to be done or submitted, self motivate and self monitor your work; all these skills will be so important as you head into secondary school next year. We have seen you commit to the daily mile, get creative in writing, poetry and art, as well as diving into projects ;all of this helping to maintain good mental health and physical health as well as staying on top of your academic work. Well done 6th class: you should be very proud of yourselves....I certainly am!
Here is some of the fabulous work you got up to these last 2 weeks!

One great way to show love as we approach Valentines day, is to express our gratitude and appreciation of others in our life. We have been so so lucky to be supported in our remote learning by Joan Dempsey, of Music Generation who has been sending weekly lessons to continue at home, and also our very own talented Joan Flynn on the school staff who has been sharing video art lessons which we have enjoyed. Above are some letters of thanks that the children wrote for them this week.
WE THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH!

6th class , you have done some really wonderful work these past 2 weeks. Thank you all for showing up on our zoom call every day. Its always great to see you and lovely to feel our class is still very much alive and kicking with great engagement in your tasks. Shut down those chrome books now for the midterm, enjoy some screen free time and a well deserved break from school at home. Now just enjoy home as home. I look forward to seeing you all again when we come back refreshed and ready to continue on our learning journey!
