Dear parents, I hope that you are well.
I'm writing about two key things today: Seesaw and Website
Seesaw:
1. Last week I sent a private message to each family on Seesaw and it was lovely to receive many responses. I realise that a small number of families were not aware that I had done this, so can I urge you to check in your inbox and send me a response? Feel free to use this facility if you have any queries that the teacher is unable to help you with or that you need to 'run by me.' or email me on mmonaghan771@c2kni.net
2. Now that we are properly up and running, we need you to send two pieces of work to the class teacher each Wednesday or Thursday morning- their best piece of Literacy and Numeracy each week. The teachers will provide feedback to your child which is very important for motivation. We ask for the posts to be made on these days as it allows us to provide support on Thursday and Friday to families who are struggling. (I realise that Key workers may need to do this on another day- whatever suits best for you. I cant imagine how difficult everything must be for you.)
I ask you not to exceed the two posts per child as we do not wish to overload the system. The teachers have posted instructions on their class Seesaw page.
Do not stress over this, we can help if you are having difficulties.
Website-Please refer to:

4. Home page-
Update at the TOP of THIS PAGE RE School Meals- Very Important.
I conclude by thanking you the parents and the staff for the remarkable way in which you are working together, it is unbelievable. By all accounts, things are going to become even more frightening in the days ahead, so I urge you to continue to pray with your children, we always finish each week at assembly with the prayer to our angels: The children love this:
'Angel of God, My guardian dear,
To whom God's love commits me here,
Ever this day, be at my side.
To light and guard, to rule and guide
Amen.'
