Covid Closure - Email: MrsSkelly2020@gmail.com
June 2020
Hi everyone,
It's hard to believe it's June and almost the end of another school year. I can honestly say I have never experienced a year like it. I hope that you are well and staying safe.
I have tried something new - I'm learning too during this Covid Closure. I tried to create a virtual classroom with something to interest everyone in it. Have a look and see what you think. Let me know how you find it if you get a chance.
As always with the work, do what you can and don't feel that you must do everything. I hope you're enjoying the good weather and the easing of some of the restrictions.
Be helpful at home if you can. Say thank you to all the people who have helped you with your school work and looked after you.
I'll write again before the end of the year,
Mrs Skelly

Hello everyone,
You may have noticed that we are now using the Aladdin app to send home work and correspondence. Please get in touch via Aladdin or send me an email if you are encountering any difficulties or have any queries that you think I may be able to help with.
There are links to lots of websites, games and information below, you may find something of interest here as well as what has been sent on Aladdin or instead of what has been sent.
There are some links to information from school psychologists here http://www.ogrowneyns.ie/sen-support.html these may be helpful for your family.
Please know you continue to be in our thoughts and that we are just as sad and disappointed as you are that school will not be reopening before the summer holidays.
Be kind to each other and help out where and when you can.
Stay safe,
Mrs Skelly

Hi Everyone,
I hope this finds you and your families safe and well. I miss those smiling faces and chatting to you all. There are lots of links below to different things you might enjoy during the time school is closed.
There are many things you can do without technology too, learn to tie your laces, how to set the table, to cook a simple meal - this would be a lovely surprise for the mums and dads, they would even like some surprise toast for breakfast. Go for walks (2km from home), play I spy, can you spot something in the colours of the rainbow or find something for each letter of the alphabet. Get some exercise, play inside or outside - make sure you keep 2 metres from people not in your family if you are out. Write letters/emails/cards to your friends, grandparents, aunts, uncles etc. Help your parents plan and prepare a special meal, you could write the shopping list, help to cook and set the table. Can you plant something in a pot/yoghurt tub or in your garden? Help to sort the laundry and learn how to hang out the clothes and to fold them when they are dry, you will need to do this yourself one day! Tidy your room and keep it clean and tidy, you're all old enough to manage the vacuum cleaner with a bit of help if you really need it. Parents wouldn't this be great! Learn to sweep the floor in the kitchen, your parents and guardians are busy bees if you can help with a job, do it. You will need all these skills every day in your adult life.
Try and read every day, even just a little there are links to readers here or you might prefer to read a comic, book, newspaper or some facts online. There are tables games here they help with everything in maths so it is a good time to do some extra work on these. Remember that it is important to find some time to relax and to feel calm there are lots of ways to do this, play your favourite games, spend some quiet time as a family, take some deep breaths, try some of the mindfulness ideas below, make a puzzle or the yoga. Play board games and have fun as well as working.
Most important of all, listen to your parents and guardians and be kind to yourself and others. It is confusing even for the grown ups, we are not sure when school and other things will be back, we need to patient with each other. Do something every day that makes someone smile - I can't wait to hear about all the kind and good things you've done to spread happiness at this time.
Look after yourselves, take care and be safe. Please know I miss you all,
Mrs Skelly
