And so the Holiday Countdown begins...

Good morning everyone!

I hope that you all had fun at the aquarium, exploring Áras an Uachtaráin and discovering the magic of Disney World!

It was really lovely to receive photos of you wearing your Virtual School Tour t-shirt creations. cool

Including today, we have just 12 days of home-schooling left! Can you believe it? And what an eventful year it has been! One that we will certainly never forget.

But the school year is not quite over yet. So here are some suggestions for the pupils of An Choill Bheag for the week ahead…

Morning Routine:

Let’s start every morning with a Good Morning Animal Workout!

What did you think of Tina’s yoga video last week? It was definitely my favourite so far! Thanks again to Tina for all of the time and effort that she has put into her wonderful videos. I particularly loved the song last week and I reckon that the music lovers in An Choill Bheag more than likely loved it too!

So, here it is, as the Action Song of the Week – Every Little Cell in my Body is Happy.
