Great Ideas!

Wow! Some of you boys and your parents are sharing some really great ideas with us for today's blog.

I love this one: two boys tucked up in bed listening to their Granny telling them a story via Facetime! So good for the grandparents to be with their grandchildren in this way. And what could be better than a nice story before you go to bed?

Here's another idea. This chap's mam outlined shapes for him to fill in with paint on his window. It must have kept him busy for hours.

And here's another great idea from another Mam...

Time To Come In Bear: A story about social distancing on youtube

There are some very skillful families in our community who can work a jigsaw and also weave. We will be calling on your skills when the school reopens again! Lovely for your children to watch that handiwork in action-and to enjoy the finished results.

It's also great to see families enjoying boardgames and construction kits together.

And who doesn't love this time to sort out all the things we have been meaning to get to but don't? LIke our great big football card collection! Now is a golden opportunity to sort out those Match Attax or GAA cards!

Or something as simple as a scrap book. Or-if you cannot get to the shops-a few pages stapled together, can be the start of a project for your favourite band or team. Or anything you want.

.And the written work and reading continues. Maybe get that done first before you play with your favourite toys?
Our Teachers have given work in the Aladdin app today for every class. These are suggestions-your parents will decide what works best for you for learning at home. This chap has free worksheets from Twinkl.

Don't forget to keep reading! Roald Dahl is a particular favourite for lots of you and here's a link to some indoor activities from the Roald Dahl website.

Help around the house as much as you can. And take this time too to have fun with your family!

 We know you miss your classmates and play mates. And that birthdays are quieter affairs during these challenging times. But maybe we are learning too that our families are very precious and create some very special memories for our memory box during this unique time.

Happy Birthday to You!

When all the work is done, get out there, keep your social distance. And keep sharing your great ideas and pics on offficedonacarneyboys@gmail.com

Great to see familiar faces here today and some new ones too!
