Hi Kids. We hope you are all doing well! We've put up some new ideas and Easter activities for you on our Home School Learning page.  Make sure to check it out! 

Hi boys and girls! We just wanted to stop by to say hello! We can hardly believe its been two whole weeks since we last saw you. We hope you are all keeping safe and well. We are fine but missing you all. Just like you, we are staying safe in our homes. We know a lot of you are missing your friends but if we all follow the special rules, we promise you things will get back to normal.
The people who work in the Department of Education have asked us to please remind you to practice social distancing which means standing 2 metres away from people who don't live with you. They also don't want you to meet up with your friends while the school is closed. By doing this we can stop spreading the virus and keep everyone in our community safe. We know these guidelines are not easy to follow, but you are doing great so far.
Try to stay busy every day by helping at home and trying new things. We know you have been working hard on your schoolwork and there are lots of ideas on our Home School Learning page you could try to keep you busy. Don't forget to log onto Reading Eggs and Ed Shed for some fun activities. Say a big thank you to your parents for the work they are doing with you. We'll be in touch again soon with some more activities to keep you active and learning!
​
Best wishes,
Mrs. Maguire, Ms. O' Callaghan, Ms. Fitzpatrick 

We were then treated to a delicious book tasting in our very own restaurant. For each course we sampled a different genre. We spent a few minutes browsing through the books at each table  to get an impression of the book. We wrote down our first impressions and made a list of the books we would like to read. We are going to be very busy over the next couple of weeks reading from our list. It was good to try new books because they are a lot like food, you won't know if you like something until you try it!!

The Chief Fire Safety Officer at Ballyconnell Fire Station made a special visit to talk about Fire Safety in the Senior Room on Wednesday 4th March. There was a great workbook and special Fire Safety characters to help us learn all about Fire Safety! It was a very valuable visit and we all really enjoyed it!

Our Be Active After School Activity programme got off to a great start this week. The Be Active ASAP is supported by the Health Promotion and Improvement and the HSE facilitated by Cavan Sports Partnership in association with the Irish Sport'sCouncil. It encourages children to partake in physical activity after school in the school setting. Thanks to our parent volunteers, Caroline, Olga and Elaine who did an amazing job keeping the children moving. You can see more pictures of the fun activities by clicking on the Active Flag tab at the top of this page and scrolling down to the bottom. Roll on next Tuesday!!!
