Hello again,

I really enjoyed speaking to some of you during the week and am glad to hear you are keeping well and holding strong! Mr Donnelly has been working very hard setting up SeeSaw and I look forward to communicating with you. I will continue to upload work each week onto the website. Feel free to upload any work you do onto SeeSaw. I look forward to seeing all your fantastic work. Don’t forget to remind your parents that they must send an e-mail back to Mr Donnelly saying it is okay for you to use SeeSaw.

Do you know what my garden is full of? Yes, you guessed it – dandelions! These weeds grow everywhere! However, as a very knowledgeable St Gabriel’s teacher told me, dandelions are the first food for bees when no other flower is in bloom. Did you know that?       Hooray to Dandelions!

Here is one of my favourite songs ‘What a Wonderful World’ by Louis Armstrong. Do you like it? Now watch him perform it live. I would like you to act out of all the things that are beautiful to you and have a family member guess what they are. Now, draw a picture of what you see!

Would you rather…

be 3 feet tall or 8 feet tall?

eat rotten cheese or rotten eggs?

have a helper robot or a helper monkey?

Emma, Ashley and I are missing you all very much. Have a lovely week with your family. Continue to help your siblings and the adults in the house.

Slán,

Ms O’Dowd
