Return after the Easter Break!

Hello girls and boys,
​
We hope you all had an enjoyable and peaceful Easter with your families this year. It was a different one for us all! We know it's a difficult time for everybody when you are missing seeing your friends and family and missing your regular activities. Recently our president, Michael D Higgins, thanked all the boys and girls and their parents across the country for all the learning you have been doing at home and we agree, Well Done! A big 'Well Done' also for continuing to stick to the rules to keep our communities and families safe, especially over the holidays!
We hope that you got to enjoy some chocolate on Easter Sunday! We also hope that you enjoyed some fun activities over the holidays. Did anybody try out anything new since you have been at home? We would love to hear your stories if you did or maybe you would like to share some Easter photos with us. You can send us your stories or photos by email to office@greaghrahanschool.ie.
​The Easter holidays have been a chance for us to try some different activities too.

Mrs. Maguire has done some baking (not as fancy as Ms. O'Callaghan's!!) She has also been bringing Shep for a walk every day to the lake to look at the swans and geese. He's loving all the attention he's getting these days with everyone staying at home!

Ms Fitzpatrick has been very busy over the holidays. She has been out twice a day for a walk with her family in the morning and afternoon to keep active and get lots of fresh air. She has been painting, reading lots of stories, making jigsaws, having teddy bears picnics, playing in the garden and teaching lots of new words to her son.

​Ms. O' Callaghan has tried some baking! She enjoyed baking bread and she also found a simple pancake recipe made from porridge oats that she enjoyed eating afterwards!

​We're still missing seeing you all but we're glad we are all following the rule to "Stay at Home." We will continue to keep in contact with you on the website and we will put some fun activities on our Home School Learning page so keep an eye on it for some cool ideas!

Best wishes,
​Mrs. Maguire, Ms. Fitzpatrick and Ms. O'Callaghan
