I hope that everyone is safe and well, I have allocated work in each class for the children that come out to me. I realise that some parents may not be in a position to do as much as they would like to because of work commitments or family care. Don’t worry do what you can as this is just suggested work and not the end of the world if they don’t get it done . The work I have given is the same as what they have been doing all year and therefore the children should be able to do the majority by themselves. Also remember during this stressful time that children learn so much from baking, lego, gardening or painting with their parents. Try include them in anything you are doing and don’t stress we will work hard when we get back to school. If you need to contact me do not hesitate ,I would only be delighted to help as much as I can. You can contact me on Orla.murphy@stjosephsgorey.ie
Kind regards,

World Book Day was a huge success here in St.Joseph’s Primary School. To celebrate World Book Day each child was given a World Book Day token to encourage reading . Every child could dress up as a favourite character from their favourite book and there was some fantastic costumes parading the school for the day . As a whole school we celebrated this day through a special announcement of DEAR time over the intercom . Classes were busy designing their own book covers as well as drawing their favourite characters . It was a positive experience for all and great effort was invested by parents, teachers and students . We all thoroughly enjoyed the day . Happy Reading !
