Hi Rang A Trí,

It’s the last week of our school year. We have a short week this week. Holidays are Thursday. I have just activities for 3 days. I know if we were in school we would be having a fun day on Thursday.

This week is Wellness Week. It is so important that we look after our mental health. If we don’t look after our mental health it will affect every aspect of our lives. We must be kind to others but we must be kind to ourselves too.

I have put together 3 activities a day. I want you to choose 1 to do out of the three. Of course, if you want to do more, you can. The activities vary from colouring to yoga poses. I hope you enjoy them and find them useful.

Guys, it’s hard to believe our year together is over. It has been the most unusual year of my teaching life. Never did we think that we would be linking up on Google Classroom for Term 3. I have to say, you have all been brilliant. The work you have done all year has been so good. The way you engaged with remote learning since March 12^th has been incredible. You adapted so easily to the new format. I am so proud and pleased with every one of you. You really are the best.

Thank you for your news, your pictures and your videos since March 12^th. I know you missed school but believe me I missed school too. Hearing your news, seeing your pictures and hearing your voices kept me going every day. You have learned lots of new things from your time at home. You have enjoyed baking, fun times with your family and lots of sunny days and of course the RTE Education Hub. I know you will talk and reminisce about this time for as long as you will live. The history books will tell of this pandemic. You can say you were a 10 year old child in 3^rd class when it happened.

I have loved my time with you. Your love of learning, your love of sport and your love of fun and games make you a great class. You all are so kind and caring to each other and that makes you a class that stand out. Keep that bond. Continue to be kind and be the person that God wants you to be.

I know you will all do well in 4^th class. Know whatever class you are in, you can always talk and chat to me.

I hope you all have a great Summer. I look forward to seeing you all in our school yard in September.

Thank you,

Mrs. Tynan
