Hi, your work for the week was posted to seesaw yesterday.

Hi girls, from now on I am going to post your schedule of work on Seesaw as I want to make it easier for your parents to find everything. I will post everything to seesaw so that you only have to check one place for all of your work and activities. Of course you can still come back to Padlet to look at what I have already posted. Have a great week everyone.

This is a lovely activity to do at any time girls. When you have your jar made, you can shake it up and watch the glitter settle. This is a great thing to do when you are feeling worried or uneasy. As you watch the glitter settle you are focused on the jar, your breathing relaxes and your other thoughts float away. I would love to see a picture or video of your calm jar if you make one!

Girls here is the printable version of the Mental Health booklet that we are doing on seesaw this week. This is if you prefer to print it and do it on paper. If you prefer to do it on seesaw then you can disregard this message. In this pdf there are two versions of the booklet (one page per sheet or two pages per sheet) so make sure you only print the version that you would like to do.

Hi everyone, I hope you had a relaxing weekend. It's a pity that the weather wasn't that great, but it seems the sun has come back out today to lift our spirits! Below I have attached your assignments for the week. I really am so proud of how much work and effort you have been putting in to keep up with your learning girls, well done. Please have a look at my video message on seesaw for an update on this week's activities. Have a look at seesaw everyday as activities to go along with these assignments will be assigned to you each day. Your maths work is also assigned to seesaw each day by your maths teacher. Please don't worry if you haven't been active on seesaw so far, now is the perfect time to get going and I would love to hear from you and see your activities. Have a lovely week everyone.

Hi girls, Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend.  Thank you for uploading your school activities to Seesaw, it's really great to be able to see the work that you are doing and to be able to give feedback on it. Make sure to check out the video message I uploaded to the activity section of Seesaw. There are still a few girls that I would love to hear more from on Seesaw, if you are having any issues with using seesaw please let me know here or through email and I will do my best to help you out. I would love to see your entries for the ''draw your hero' art competition. Have a great week everyone!

Hi girls, your maths work will now be posted to seesaw. When uploading maths work to seesaw, make sure to put it into your maths teacher’s folder. Extra resources that go along with your lessons that will give you a little extra help may be posted to your maths teacher’s Padlet.

Happy Monday girls. I hope you had a lovely weekend, we were lucky to have such gorgeous weather. There is a wonderful art activity on seesaw for you to do this week, it is also a competition. I was delighted to see that some of you created your own coloured stones with positive quotes on them, they really made me smile, they were fabulous. It was great to see some of you enjoying the science experiment last week. I have uploaded another one for this week on seesaw. You don't need many items for it. Have a great week everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought this would be a lovely and fun idea for you to do this week for art. You can collect rocks or stones in your garden or close to your house, give them a good wash and colour them in with paint, crayons, markers or chalk! It might be nice then to write some messages of positivity on them after. I would love to see your creations on seesaw.

Hi girls, below I have attached the layout of school activities for next week. I wanted to say well done on all of your amazing work so far! It is not easy to create a new routine and it is definitely not easy to do schoolwork from home all of the time, especially in a busy house which I am sure you all have. Please don’t worry if you are not completing all of the activities, as long as you are trying your best and following a timetable that suits your family that is all I ask for. I know you are trying very hard and that everything is quite confusing right now. Just know that you are in my thoughts and I miss seeing all of your lovely smiles every day. Please remember to have a look at the mental health section of this Padlet as it has some great ways for you to relax and take your mind off the current situation. Meditation and mindfulness can be amazing for helping us to slow down, be grateful for what we have and to think more positively. I hope you all have a great week and remember that I am just at the other end of an email if you have any questions.

Hi girls,

I hope you had a wonderful Easter break filled with chocolate eggs and movie marathons! I’m sure you’re just dying to get back into schoolwork now?? I will take that as a yes 😄 I’ve attached below your schedule for school activities for next week. Remember this is a suggested layout and please only do the ‘work’ that suits your at-home situation/timetable. If you have any questions please post them in the ‘questions’ section and please sign into padlet (you can create a free account with parent’s permission) so that I can see who is asking the question. I will be posting an online lesson to assist you in your English Jolly Grammar work this week and your Gaeilge activities, so please check the English section and Gaeilge section of this padlet while completing these activities. I hope you have another great week at home, spending time with your family and doing lots of fun activities. Remember to check out the ‘Mental Health’ section of this padlet for some tips and activities if you are ever feeling worried or uneasy 😊 Hope to see you soon, I miss all of you!

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a fabulous long weekend! We had gorgeous weather so I'm sure you spent lots of time soaking up the sun. You may or may not have heard by now that our Taoiseach stated that we would not be back in school until September or October. You may have been disappointed by this news, like myself. If so, we must remember why we cannot go into school. This is for the safety of ourselves, all of our loved ones and all citizens of the world. We have to do our part in taking care of ourselves and others and our way of doing that now is to stay home. We will be back in school one day, laughing with our friends, playing on yard and doing fun school activities , but for now let's enjoy the time we have with our family and the beautiful weather outside. I hope everyone is doing their best to help out at home, this might include helping your siblings with their school work or playing with them. It might also include helping your parents out with chores etc. Just know that I am thinking of you all and I miss your 'maidin mhaith múinteoir' in the mornings! I hope you have a great week. Remember to check out the mental health section of this Padlet for ways that can ease your worries or uneasy feelings. Grá mór, Ms Keenan.❤️

Hi girls, I would like to wish you a very happy Easter! Today is the beginning of your Easter holidays and I hope you enjoy your well deserved break. Well done on doing so well with your school activities the last few weeks and settling into working from home. I know it has been difficult and it can be a little bit stressful at times in a full house, but remember why we are doing this- to stay safe and healthy. I have added lots of fun activities for you to try out in each section of this Padlet over the holidays (as you will not be receiving any academic work from me) including some Easter art, some music activities, sign language and something special for Harry Potter Fans! Have a good look through each section for some ideas ☺️ There is also a section with lots of tips on how to stay mindful, this means that you think only about the present instead of worrying about the past or the future. Try and think of all the things you are grateful for each day, such as being able to spend quality time with your family. Hopefully we will be back together again in school soon enough, until then Happy Easter 🐰😄

Ps. I have created a section for you to wish the girls in the class a happy Easter!!

Girls it might be nice for you to keep a little diary each day, or a few times a week to record what you have done during the day. This can include learning activities or other activities you did that day. This could include baking, cycling, watching your favourite tv show, finding a new game to play, writing a lovely postcard to family members you are not able to visit at the moment and anything else at all that you do during the day! When we go back to school we can all discuss our diaries and tell each other about all the fun things we did while we were at home ☺️

Please find attached below your assignments and activities for the week. Everything you need to know is explained in there. If you have any questions you can comment below or email me throughout the week. Have a great week and stay safe everyone 😊
Tip: While you are learning about birds in your Bua na Cainte, with your parent's permission you could download the 'Birdnet' app on your device. It allows you to let it listen to bird noises and tells you which bird is making the noise.
