A huge thank you to every one of you for your hard work since we last saw each other on March 12th.

Any projects/artwork etc that you did can of course be brought in when we return after the holidays.

Booklists will be emailed by the relevant teachers shortly.

I will continue to be available via email/phone if you need anything or have any questions/queries.

Hope you all have a lovely summer break and I for one cannot wait to welcome you back after the holidays.

Keep safe and keep active 👍👍

Slán go foill,
Mrs Lonergan.

As we come to the end of a very unusual school year, it is time to park the books and concentrate on the time of year we have - summer. Therefore, there will be no school work given from now on. Each child is free to finish books etc if they wish.
I will continue to set work on Studyladder for this week and all work will then finish Friday 19th June.
A few things

I mentioned previously about minding 'Butterfly Lion' novels and shared reading books and returning them in Sept. Some children also have 'Leigh Sa Bhaile' and 'Read at Home' books which were also on loan from the school. All these will be collected from the children in September.

We as a staff have a meeting this week after which booklists will be finalised. All booklists will be emailed out to everyone shortly.

I will continue to give any messages through padlet until Friday 19th so please keep an eye for any possible new messages.

It has been a very strange year. Thank you to all of you and your children, for keeping in touch and showing me your work for the last 3 months. It has been hard on everyone and we all did our best under difficult circumstances. The children will be well looked after on their return and there is no need for anyone to worry about falling behind etc. We are here to ensure the children catch up on time lost.
As always, email, text or ring me if you have any problems or issues you want to discuss. I am always here.
See you all on Studyladder on Monday 😀😀😀
Mrs Lonergan.

Just to clarify, the new online "Studyladder" is only 10 minutes a day, geared at revision. It will complement the work given through padlet NOT replace it. I don't want children learning solely through computers but 'a little a day' is a good way to vary things and keep up motivation and interest.
Studyladder tasks will be set by me. Children can, if they want, do more. I will check all progress and comment at times.
I hope they enjoy the variety.
