Belgrove Senior Girls' School

Hi Girls,

I hope you had a lovely weekend. It was great to see you on Friday. It was great to hear that you girls are keeping fit, active and healthy in so many different ways.  I’m looking forward to seeing you again next Friday, for our graduation practice.  This time we will practise singing our two songs, and saying the’ Ár n-Athair’. We will need you all singing/speaking out to ensure it sounds good.

Here are this week’s sheets. You will have your normal work for Monday and Thursday.  Tuesday is an art day.  Mrs McCarthy would like you to make a ‘Get Well’ or ‘Thinking of You’ card, to cheer up a patient in Clontarf Hospital. There is a ‘Wild postcard’ competition, where you create an artwork, depicting something of Ireland’s biodiversity, either a single animal or plant, or an entire habitat or landscape (look at your beautiful pictures above).  Create your ‘Belgrove Memory Wheel’, drawing your favourite memories from each year you spent in school.  

On Wednesday, it is time to relax, and enjoy a (or more than one) school tour. Many have activity sheets to download too, if you would like to.

Enjoy your week, girls. Try your best to get English, Maths and Gaeilge done on Monday and Thursday. Keep fit, healthy and active. Read and have plenty of time to chat to friends, and relax also.  Keep sending me your wonderful work, and well done girls, you are great!

Hi Girls,

I hope you are all well and had a nice weekend. There certainly was a world of difference in the type of weather we had this weekend. I hope you enjoyed Sports for all Day on Friday. If you like, send  photos of some activities you did on Friday, or from your time learning at home.

Here is the timetable and the sheets for this week’s work.  Try to maintain your twenty minutes each day at English, Maths and Gaeilge (adding up to an hour) and do twenty minutes at an extra subject of your choice. You will find an interesting little extension to your butterfly work, if you like to try it, and a lovely mindful colouring sheet. There are your songs and prayer to learn also. Enjoy art. Don’t forget to read, help at home, and maintain a good level of activity every day.

Take time each day to do some of your favourite activities, play, chat with friends, go for a walk or cycle, bake, do some gardening and take time to ‘chill out’ each day.

Keep up the great effort, sending the fantastic work to me. I love to hear your reading also, and see the gorgeous art you do. I am so proud of you all. Mrs deBurca is impressed also. We meet this Friday on line, so I am looking forward to seeing you all together again!

Have a good week,

Keep in touch,

Ms O’Connell. 

Hi Girls,

What beautiful weather we had this Bank Holiday weekend. I’m sure you all look so healthy from being out in the sunshine! I wonder if any of you tried, and enjoyed, any activity from ‘Bloom’ on-line. I did some gardening for my mum in her garden on Saturday. Boy, was it hot!

Here is the timetable and sheets for this week’s work. The best plan is to do twenty minutes each at Maths, Gaeilge and English, a total of one hour, every day. Then do twenty minutes or more at a subject of your choice.

After that, make sure you keep very active, read, play, go for a walk, chat to friends, bake and help at home. Make sure to find a sizeable chunk of time to relax, and have lovely parts to your day.

This week, there is an activity to do on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, for Confirmation Candidates. There is an activity you could do, using your insect hotel, and your garden. There are two lovely songs to learn as well. Friday is ‘Sports for all Day’, so make the most of it!

I love to see the careful and wonderful work you are sending me. I am so proud of you all, for doing your very best. Mrs de Burca is very impressed too! Well done girls, don’t forget to ask for help if something is a little tricky.

Have a lovely week girls,

Keep in touch,

Ms O’Connell.
