Welcome to Fifth Class.

Dear parents and children.

I hope you and your family are keeping well and staying busy. I am very disappointed that we will not be returning to school before the summer break. A suggested timetable of work will be put up on the Aladdin app each week. Please note that these are only suggestions, to help keep you busy and active during this time. If you have any work you would like me to see, you can contact me via the Aladdin app or by sending an email to Ms.Keogh2020@gmail.com
 
Missing you all 
Stay Safe

Hello everyone.

I hope you are all keeping safe and well. I hope that you are all keeping busy, helping out at home, out in the garden and getting out in the fresh air as much as possible. I am going to post up some work, ideas and activities that you might find helpful. Please do not feel that any of this work is compulsory but rather some ideas to keep your mind and body busy. 

​Missing you all 
If you wish to send me on some pictures of your work, art or project work
please do:

​

Happy Birthday to Seán, who will celebrate his birthday this week.

During the month of May, our lady Mary is honoured.

Why not make and design your own prayer. You could hang it in your home, or you could give it to your grandparent or even a neighbour.
