Hello parents and pupils of rang a cheathair agus rang a chúig. I want to take this opportunity to thank for all the support and hard work you have shown over the past two weeks. You are all doing a great job at a time that I know is difficult

It was lovely to see you all on Zoom this morning and to hear about all the wonderful things you got for Christmas!

As always, If you have any question or concerns please contact me through Seesaw or by email at pault@stoliverplunkettns.com.

This week, it is Catholic Week and this years theme is “Communities of Faith, Learning, Love, Resilience and Hope”. Our Thursday activity is based on this.

Please find below the work for 25th-29th January.

This is an example of how you may decide to structure the learning this week. It is not prescriptive, do what works best for your family at your own discretion and work around your own schedule.

Enjoy your Weekend

Mr Treacy
