VIRTUAL SCHOOL TOUR WEEK JUNE 15TH-19TH

Hello boys and girls! Good news-we are not doing our usual school work this week but we are certainly still learning.

(However make sure to work away in any of your unfinished workbooks at home as much as you can over the summer.)

This is the time of year where we would have been going on our school tour.

Unfortunately we can't visit too many places these days but I've come up with TWO exciting VIRTUAL tours for you to visit this week.

1. First up is the TITANIC EXPERIENCE COBH:

A LETTER TO THE PRIMARY SCHOOL SUPERHEROES OF IRELAND! (AND THEIR PARENTS!)

April 2020

Dear boys and girls, you’re playing a blinder,

So this is just a gentle reminder

To keep on putting up the fight

And everything will turn out right.

We know that you’ve been good as gold

At doing everything you’re told

To stop the spread, to play your part,

So keep the faith and don’t lose heart.

You followed the rules, you didn’t roam

Beyond 2K - you stayed at home,

And think of all the lives you saved

By doing your bit and being brave.

It seems the world is upside down,

School at home, no friends around.

Churches, libraries, swimming pools,

Cinemas, sports clubs, playgrounds, schools

All closed for now, it seems so strange,

Everything has utterly changed.

Although, at times, the news is tragic,

What you’re doing is truly magic,

Rising to the challenge, holding your nerve,

Managing to flatten the famous curve!

You’re washing your hands for 4 times 5

And keeping hundreds more alive,

Doing your best never to forget

Coughing and sneezing etiquette.

You’ve kindly pardoned our insistence

To keep 2 metres social distance!

Sometimes it might seem the world’s gone mad

And this could make you feel quite sad,

But don’t lose hope, this too will pass,

Even Covid cannot last.

And while we’re keeping far apart,

We can still talk heart to heart.

Remember that you’re not alone,

Say hello, pick up the phone,

Skype, Facetime, Hangouts, Zoom,

You don’t have to be in the same room

To laugh, to joke, to sing, to chat

About the news, or this and that.

You’ve written postcards, or one better,

Some of you have written letters

To family and friends in other lands,

To cousins, neighbours, Grandads, Grans,

Even though their hugs we miss

We can still wave or blow a kiss!

We understand you miss so much

That lovely gift - our sense of touch.

Fist bumps, spuds, goal celebrations,

Face-to-face communications,

High-fives, backslaps, hugs and cuddles,

Getting into team-sport huddles,

Playdates, sleepovers, birthday parties,

Sharing cupcakes, treats and smarties,

All put on ice, but not forever,

Soon you’ll all be back together.

Simon says ‘Don’t get complacent’!

Or all our efforts could be wasted,

But that’s not something we will do,

We’ll stay the course and see this through,

We won’t let this challenge tire us,

We’re on a mission to kill that virus!

The sun still shines, the flowers still bloom

And one day soon, school will resume!

Whoever thought we’d think it cool

To be allowed to go to school,

But we’ve had lots of time to ponder

And absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Out of cocoons come butterflies,

It really comes as no surprise

That each of you is a superhero,

LET’S GET COVID DOWN TO ZERO!!

Well done, everyone!

May 25th to 29th WORKPLAN

Welcome to another week of remote learning boys and girls! It is amazing how we have become used to this new way of learning.

My sons were so excited to see some baby ducklings on the River Erne in Belturbet and they want you to see the videos we captured of them. We think the mammy duck has eight ducklings in total. Scroll right to the bottom of this post to see them!

You now have your copies and books back to make things a little easier. In the bag I sent home I also printed you revision maths sheets from my Planet Maths teacher's book to work on so you will be kept busy up until the end of term.

The drive thru last Thursday was strange but it was lovely to see some of you and your parents.

There is lots of extra work to browse through here and some notes and links to help you with the normal work I've set for you.

Do whatever you are able to do at home.

(It is important to keep practising your reading, writing and tables regularly though.)

Remember to send me an email this week, even just to say hello, and include at least TWO pieces of work if possible.
