1st/2nd Class Wow Ms Davis

Staff

There is wonderful creativity in Ms Davis’ 1st and 2nd Class classroom. In addition to doing their homework every day the children have been playing sport, making science experiments, art & craft projects, baking, cooking, drawing and much much more.  They were working on their ‘art construction project’ when schools closed and so many also completed it at home.

“Well done each and every child in 1st and 2nd Class. You should be so proud of your efforts and achievements. I am blown away by your talents” – Ms Davis

5th & 6th Write Poems During Closure

Staff

Here is a sample of some of the work 5th & 6th class have been doing during the school closure.

Stay safe during Covid 19
Together we are in this
And if I can play my part
You can do it too
In staying at home we are saving lives
Nobody should ignore this advice
Going forward down the line

At home we have lots to do
Tennis, football, soccer too

Home is the best place to stay
Only leave when necessary for your work and your shopping
Mind your family and your elderly neighbours
Eventually this will end

Aoibhinn

—————————————————————————-

Stay home, stay safe
Till the restrictions are lifted
Anyone could catch it
Your health is your wealth
Ireland is in lockdown
Now we must comply
Guards won’t let you by

All travel must be essential
Two kilometres exercise regime

Hospitals are under pressure
Older people must cocoon
My schoolwork is done at home
Everyone must play their part

Eoin

————————————————-

Social distance
Today
And
You will help
In
Not spreading
Germs

And
To

Help
Others
Most, especially
Elderly

Ericka

—————————————————————-

Staying at home will keep us all safe
Touching your face will spread germs
Always wash your hands
You do your part and we can stop this

Always think about where you are going
Travelling unnecessarily is not allowed

Home is the only place you should be
Only travel if necessary
Make sure you are always safe
Every little bit helps

Jamie

——————————————————————————

Some days we go for a walk, others we stay in bed
Tell all your friends its a no-go area
Always keep contact, always check in
Yes, said Leo Varadkar, two metres away
Institutions, schools and colleges are all closed
New rules at supermarkets, two metres have been imposed
Going to mass and on holidays have come to a standstill

A lot of families leaving supplies on each others windowsills
Truthfully we would all like this to end soon

Hanging out with your family or friends is a dream
Of course this will all come to a stop and we will all be reunited
Maybe you are finding it difficult at home to cope
Extremely important to always remember to always have
hope

Josh

—————————————————————————–

Stay where you are
Time will pass
All day
You play chess
Indoors
Not bored yet
Going out for fresh air

At noon
Time to pass

How am I doing this
On my day at home
Morning is lazy
Evening hyper

Micheál

—————————————————————————-

So many people are helping stop Covid-19
There are some things we can do better
At home if you feel sick stay away from everyone
You have to cover your cough and sneeze
Isolation is key if we are going to stop Covid-19
Never put anyone in danger
Go 6ft apart

And keep within 2km of home
Together we can flatten the curve

Healthcare workers will be able to cope
Overcoming this virus
Might brings our families together
Everyone must play their part

Congratulations to our Star Award winners for January! One pupil from each classroom was selected by their class teacher and the award winners were presented with certificates at today’s assembly. They were also given a night off homework for their efforts!

An extra award, decided on by Ms O’Dwyer and Mrs. Brosnan, is presented to pupils for a particular act of kindness or to pupils who have completed an exemplary piece of work in school. Well done to the latest recipient of this award.

Pupils Have Their Say On New Taoiseach

Staff

Fourth Class pupils got the experience of polling day on Tuesday as the countdown to Election 2020 nears an end.

Pupils were asked to select who they would like to be the new Taoiseach with a number 1 vote and were also asked to continue their preferences along the ballot paper. This was to help explain the Proportional Representation system and a candidate being required to reach a quota.

As it worked out, it wasn’t until the SIXTH count that it was determined that Micheál Martin was their selection, beating current Taoiseach Leo Varadkar into second place.

We will see what the real election has in store next weekend!
