Term 3

Monday 20th April 2020.

Dear Parents,

I hope you and you children are all well and you all had a lovely Easter.  I am sure you will all agree that when the schools closed suddenly on March 13th, we certainly never thought we would begin Term 3 in this manner. For the next few weeks teachers will continue to keep in touch with you all via  school blog and classroom blogs.  We will also contact you via email.  Please forward an up to date Email to your class teacher. (Addresses below)

Please note in order to view the school blog it is best to use a tablet or a laptop, not a mobile phone. 
If you use a mobile phone please scroll to the bottom of the page and under HOME click View Web Version, this will bring you to the main web page and you can access each of the Class  Blogs on the right hand side (in green section),  scroll down, the blog sections have an  small orange icon beside them!   Like this  

Teachers are awaiting guidelines from both the Department of Education and the INTO in relation to using some online tools/ apps etc.. In the interest of maintaining and upholding Internet Safety, our local education center advised, and rightly so, that now was not the time to be introducing some of these. You may have read or heard that a number of issues have arisen surrounding various forms of online contact ; Zoom, Face-timing, WhatApp etc..  So, for the moment, we will be keeping it simple.  We will make ourselves available to you and continue to set  work for your children. Please do not hesitate to Email your class teacher if you have any concerns or questions.

The following website has put together a comprehensive list of websites and Apps to assist with SEN.
