Hi Everyone! We are delighted to be up and running with our weekly Creative Challenges and starting to receive some wonderful entries. Here we share some of the highlights from our Week 1 challenge which saw our students getting creative with their Photography and Visual Art.

We can’t wait to see what comes in for our Week Two challenge. Keep an eye on our Creative blog and keep sending those Masterpieces in to Aisling at ideasforhome2020@stbrigids.net

On Tuesday we posted everyone a packet of sunflower seeds. Mrs Kennedy has given you instructions in ‘Hello from the garden‘ to sow and care for these seeds.
When they have grown you will have a great display and we can share the photos and measure them to see which is the tallest!

Song No. 1 – revise “I’d like to Teach the World to Sing”, use the YouTube clip to help revise lyrics and melody. Keep singing….

I’d Like to Teach the World To Sing

I’d like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow-white turtle doves

I’d like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I’d like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company

I’d like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land

I’d like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony……
I’d like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
La La La La…………

I’d like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow-white turtle doves

I’d like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
And I’d like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company

I’d like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land

I’d like to teach the world to sing

I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony

I’d like to teach the world to sing

New Public Health Measures

Starting next Monday (30th March) RTE’s Home School Hub will broadcast on RTE2 between 11 and 12, Monday to Friday, with RTE’s Home School Extra broadcasting in the afternoons at 4.10.

RTE have said that the 1 hour programme will be interactive and the 15-minute “catch-up” afternoon slot will be used as an opportunity for children to share their ideas and creations with others.

This initiative has been developed with the support of the Department of Education and Skills, and will be presented by teachers in a real classroom. Work sheets and support materials will be available at https://www.rte.ie/learn/

Everyday keep healthy with GoNoodle.

Take part in live P.E. lessons with Joe Wicks (The Body Coach) at 9am on school days (the videos are also saved to his YouTube channel).

Learn to draw at 2 everyday with Will Sliney

Listen to Oliver Jeffers everyday at 6. Each story stays live for 24 hours.

Contact Tracing

You have been sent a suggestion that all people should be encouraged to keep a diary of all places they visit and a list of the people they have physical contact with on a daily basis.

If this is taken on board, it would reduce the workload of those working tirelessly with the job of Contact Tracing in the weeks ahead.

If this message was sent to all Groups, Clubs, Societies and all in turn sent this message to all their members this would make a big difference in identifying people who needed to be contacted and reduce the workload of Contact Tracing.

I hope that you will pass on this message to family and friends
