Dear Parent/guardian
Guidelines - your child should spend between one & two hours each day (Mon – Fri) at their school work.
There is no substitution for reading, so please encourage your child to read a variety of text.
If you need to contact, please email [email protected] or through Seesaw
You are and always will be your child's primary educator. If you decide that the work being sent home by the teacher is unnecessary, then don't do it. Children learn in many different ways and not just through "book learning". Some families will be able to do the schoolwork - others will be under pressure to get it done. Please don't be under any pressure to get the school work prescribed completed.

Research Project:
A Botanical Art competition for the senior classes. I would like an art poster and I would like a small project based on the flower you pick. So spend this week researching your chosen flower under the following headings:
Prize for the winner is a homework voucher for September and a small prize suited to the individual winner. The current sixth class cannot avail of the H.W. voucher but a larger prize will be awarded to one of them in September should they be announced the winner.
Botanical Art Competition / Research Project
Who: This Competition is open to children in 4th, 5th, and 6th Class in Drinagh National School.
What: Botanical Art is art about plants and flowers. For many years, botanical art was very popular and was used by both artists and scientists. You can see some examples of Botanical Art in the National Gallery of Ireland at the link below:
https://www.nationalgallery.ie/art-and-artists/exhibitions/drawn-from-nature-online
Why: We are having an art competition to see your great drawing and creativity skills!
How: You will need to look at the list of flowers below and then research them online to find out things like what they look like, how big they tend to grow and what sort of animals come to visit them. Then on an A4 page you simply draw and colour in the flower and write the name underneath in English and in Latin. There is an example of the next page of the template. You can either draw one plant, or them all, it’s up to you! But if you wish to do more than one, please use a separate page for each one. Here is the list of plants
When: The competition will be open until Friday 19th June 3pm. The Winner will be announced the week after that and their work published on our lockdown page. Please email a photo of your art and your project to me at [email protected]

Dear Parent/guardian
I hope you all are well!
Again if you have any questions at all about the work or anything else, please don’t hesitate to contact me via my email address [email protected] The plan below is the for the week ahead.
Again there is absolutely no pressure to get this work completed.
Guidelines - your child should spend between one & two hours each day (Mon – Fri) at their school work.
There is no substitution for reading, so please encourage your child to read a variety of text.
You are and always will be your child's primary educator. If you decide that the work being sent home by the teacher is unnecessary, then don't do it. Children learn in many different ways and not just through "book learning". Some families will be able to do the schoolwork - others will be under pressure to get it done. Please don't be under any pressure to get the school work prescribed completed.

Dear Parent/guardian
I hope you all are well!
As announced schools will remain closed until September. This is very disappointing especially for our current sixth class.
I hope to have a graduation ceremony for sixth class in September/October, but again this will depend on social distancing rules and any health and safety guidelines in at that time.
Also all teachers will be posting work on the website on a Saturday evening instead of Sunday evening from next week onwards, this will hopefully make it easier for working parents.
Guidelines - your child should spend between one & two hours each day (Mon – Fri) at their school work.
There is no substitution for reading, so please encourage your child to read a variety of text.
If you need to contact me for anything please email [email protected]
You are and always will be your child's primary educator. If you decide that the work being sent home by the teacher is unnecessary, then don't do it.

Hi everyone
I hope you are all well and enjoying the fine weather!
There will be no update on schools re-opening until May 5th, I expect that schools will stay closed for a while after this date.
Guidelines - your child should spend between one & two hours each day (Mon – Fri) at their school work.
There is no substitution for reading, so please encourage your child to read a variety of text.
If you need to contact me for anything please email [email protected]
You are and always will be your child's primary educator. If you decide that the work being sent home by the teacher is unnecessary, then don't do it. Children learn in many different ways and not just through "book learning". Some families will be able to do the schoolwork - others will be under pressure to get it done. Please don't be under any pressure to get the school work prescribed completed.
