This has to be the tastiest looking jig saw I have ever seen - mmmm it's making me look forward to Easter!  Wow what an incredible lego construction - many hours of concentration went into that I would say.
This third class boy made a fabulous 3d model and is also keeping fit with his obstacle course - great ideas he got from the STEM at home suggestions on his class page.
Fabulous thank you cards and also amazing 3d houses - well done!
  Some children have been really busy on the farm!  Those lambs are so cute!
Just look at this fantastic Deforestation Project - a lot of hard work and effort went into this - well done!

This fantastically creative child made her own swingball set out of an old rope, a pole and a tennis ball - we are blown away by the ingenuity of our students!
Enjoying remote music classes.....or is it cookery?
Wow boys you must have been up early today doing your Ethos Moment!  Fabulous poster!  The Pope's blessing will be broadcast at 5pm this evening (not 11am as I thought) - Vatican news will live stream it or it will also be on RTE News Now.
The Morton brothers have been enjoying the nice weather and the beautiful walks that they have on their doorstep. They even made a great den with their cousin. Their dog Summer loves home schooling where she has a constant supply of rubs. They worked very hard on the Deforestation project and are also enjoying writing  short stories. They can’t wait to be back at school with their friends and their wonderful teachers.
Wonderful to see the boys drawing their Worry Balloons today.  Fantastic sorting of cutlery and searching for signs of spring going on here as well - well done and keep smiling!
Fabulous to see siblings enjoying the beautiful weather and the nature on our doorstep.  They are missing their friends but getting out for a scoot, cycle or walk every day and getting their schoolwork done too!
These latest photos even inspired Ms Wallnutt to write a poem!
Even though we're far apart
It's good to know you're doing some art!
There are Patrick's Day pictures made with pride
And Spring pictures too, showing the outside!
Leaves were gathered just for fun
And bunting of colours then were hung
The cutlery made quite a pile
And I believe the sorting took quite a while!
The photos I just love to see, so please send lots of them to me.
This little lady is staying active by enjoying walks, going on her scooter and on her bike . She is also dancing and singing which is the best medicine for these strange times we are living in .  What a beautiful picture of a spring day!
I hear the mindful colouring is getting too much for some of our past pupils!!!
Nothing like a walk in the woods with the dog - great idea for break time.
Great to see sisters doing daily physical exercises and children working hard with their siblings.
