Hi everyone, so we officially have our summer holidays!!!! Woohoo!!!! I hope some of you tried some of the challenges I posted!? Also I hope most of you were able to join in the Google Meet call to say goodbye to the 6th Class. I’m putting up some ideas that may come in useful to keep little minds occupied every now again over the coming months. A special thanks to all the moms and dads for working so hard with the boys and girls over the past few months, doing school work at home. Have a lovely summer everyone and stay safe.

Hi everyone,
It was wonderful to see some of you again last Friday on our Google Meet call. We had great fun doing a quiz and seeing the fantastic projects 1st Class had put together. Seeing as there’s only a few weeks of school left, I intend to make this time as fun as possible for you at home. I’ve included some activities this week that will hopefully make work a little more fun and enjoyable.
Work June 8th – 12th

Some fantastic work being done at home by so many children, it’s wonderful to see. Keep it up if you can, do what work you can and don’t worry with what you might not be able to do. Peppa says it’s ok!!!
Have a great week everyone, now that we can travel that bit further. Remember to stay safe by washing your hands, keeping social distancing etc.
Mr. Galvin
Hello again everyone,
I hope you had a lovely weekend, enjoying the glorious sunshine. It’s surreal to think we are now in June and have only a few weeks left. I hope some of you may have wrote to Sir David Attenborough? I may try and organise another video call for this Friday possibly. I’ll be in touch by email as usual. Here is this weeks work,a little less because of the Bank Holiday…

Some activities for 1st Class only:
I know I might sound like a broken record at this stage, but a huge well done to everyone (children,parents and family) for doing your best in these difficult times. I hope to have some fun activities in the next few weeks also that will add some fun to the work I put on the website.

Hi everyone,
Hope you all had a lovely weekend. It’s hard to believe that we are in the last week of May. Can I just say how much I enjoyed doing the video call with Senior Infants and 1st Class last Wednesday. It was wonderful to see your faces and see those infectious smiles. Hopefully we’ll have another one really soon!
Briefly before we get onto this weeks work, I want to show you a random idea for today’s work. For Monday’s writing, I’ve asked you to write a letter to Sir David Attenborough. I wrote him a letter a few weeks ago and I got a reply last Friday….Have a look.
He would love for you to write him a letter, here is his address:
Sir David Attenborough,
5 Park Road
Richmond
Surrey
TW10 6NS
England.

Thanks again so much to everyone for putting in such hard work over the past 2 months: to the wonderful children who are being so brave and to their parents and anyone who is helping them. Keep trying your best, I’m so proud of you…Oh yes, Peppa says she is really proud too!

Have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious week, the weather for the week looks good so get outdoors and exercise or relax, while maintaining social distancing and not forgetting to wash your hands.
