    We hope you and your families are safe and well, and had loads of fun last week with our zoo themed work.
    I am so sad to say that this is our last week of school and the summer holidays begin on Friday! What an unusual and memorable year we've had! You all settled into big school so fantastically, become such independent and enthusiastic boys and girls, and made new friendships, which you'll have forever! You've all done such wonderful work at school and at home with your families, and learned so much. You should be so proud of yourselves and your achievements this year.
    This week is Wellness Week, so we have lots of lovely wellness, relaxation and mindfulness activities, which we're sure you'll love, and should lead nicely into the summer holidays and the break you all deserve so much.
    Remember everything is just a suggestion and you can do what you have time for using whatever materials you may have at home. Have a relaxing week everyone and a fun, happy and safe summer!:)]]>     2020-06-19 12:31:53 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_purcell/j8siw9pmt4ev/wish/633482051     Journal NiamhMulderrig https://padlet.com/maria_purcell/j8siw9pmt4ev/wish/633656919 Keep a well-being journal every day. ]]> 2020-06-19 14:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_purcell/j8siw9pmt4ev/wish/633656919 Random Act of Kindness NiamhMulderrig https://padlet.com/maria_purcell/j8siw9pmt4ev/wish/633660554 Carry out a random act of kindness.

    We hope you are all keeping well and that you enjoyed all of the activities last week about the farm. I'm sure you all loved looking at the pictures of Ms. Sinnott's farm in Wexford.

    This is our last week of activities before the summer holidays. Our theme this week is 'Wellness'. We have picked lots of different activities, which we think you will love. They are all suggestions for you to carry out, we want you to have lots of fun!

    We would like you all to know just how proud we are of all of you and how hard you have all worked over the last few months. We know how difficult it has been and how much you have all missed your friends and coming into school every day. You are all amazing! We hope you enjoy your summer holidays and that the sun will shine again soon. 
    Please stay safe and mind yourselves.

    Ms. Mackessy, Ms. Mulderrig, Ms. Sinnott.]]>     2020-06-19 15:28:37 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_purcell/j8siw9pmt4ev/wish/633698161     sheenaconlan https://padlet.com/maria_purcell/j8siw9pmt4ev/wish/635976699 Hello everyone,
