Ms. L. Healy – Feb 21 – Scoil Naomh Micheál

Good Morning,

HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Last day of homeschooling and remote learning!! I am delighted that we are returning to school on Monday. I have missed the boys and girls so much and cannot wait to see them back in school next week.

Thank you all so much for the support, engagement and hard work over the past few months. It has been so difficult on everybody. I am so proud of how well the boys and girls have coped with being at home, away from their friends and adjusted to a new way of doing things.

Have a lovely weekend and I will see everybody bright and early Monday morning!

Ms. Healy.

Why do you think Meadbh and Saorla wanted Grandad to tell them a story about when he was a boy?
Did they like the story? Why?
What did the girls learn about Grandad from his story?
Do you think the pictures helped them to understand the story? Why?
Has anybody you know ever told a story about a time when they were young? What was the story about?

Bless us, O God.

Amen.
