Learning at home

Since our school closed on the 12th of March, teaching and learning has been drastically changed. Children have been engaging with their learning from a distance, with the support of their parents. We, as teachers, have been blown away by the fantastic projects, stories and pictures which have been sent to us over the past number of weeks. So here is a little sneak peak at some of the wonderful work we have received.

Crazy critters

A Junior Entrepreneur creation

These crazy critters were created by first cutting some felt, sewing three sides, packing with stuffing and then sewing the final side. Then they were decorated. They are intended to be used as a sensory comforter or stress reliever

We have been doing lots of STEM activities at home. The challenge here was to design and make a solar oven. This solar oven was used to melt chocolate for making Krispie buns.

This is a picture I drew for an art competition in the Irish Times last week, where you were asked to draw a picture of what you have been doing or how you have been feeling during ‘Stay at Home’ time.

I have drawn ‘Home School’ and catching up with school friends on Zoom, baking, gardening and Easter fun that included an Easter Egg Hunt 🐣 🐰 The rainbow and heart are for love and hope 💓!
