Dear Parent’s/ Guardians, 
A very big thank you for your fantastic efforts in working alongside the Teachers, Sna’s and Pupils since the re-commencement of our online learning two weeks ago.
The response and engagement from families has been outstanding. We as teachers are aware of the challenges society is facing presently, however despite this the parent & student body of Scoil Mhuire Lacken prevailed with very high engagement numbers in each of the online classrooms on a daily basis.
The content of the work being returned to teachers is evident of the hard work and high standards of our pupils in Scoil Mhuire. Resulting from this, teachers have added a fun and engaging aspect to their online classrooms, with visual storybooks being read aloud by class teachers, classroom challenges, STEAM Projects, Lego challenges, History/ Geography projects & exciting PE/ Art activities. 

Well  done to our teachers, Sna's and  pupils for embracing this  period of remote learning.  

During Remote Learning -  classes  came together on  Zoom. 

Some of our  students engaged in  Zoom calls with their  class teachers &  peers this week.  It was  a very positive  experience for  both the  staff &   children as this enabled them to interact  and  engage with other over this virtual  platform. Lots of fun has  had my all! 
Many thanks to all  families who facilitated this with the children. 
We look  forward to  this   weekly zoom  call  during the   course of our remote learning/  teaching. 

On  Friday 16th of  October, Scoil  Mhuire Lacken went green  for the  day-  as we  were celebrating  receiving our  fourth  Green  Schools  flag  for the  theme of  travel. 
The students  wore in  piece of green  clothing to celebrate the  occasion. 
Each  class bubble  separately raised the flag 
Check  out some of the  pictures from  the  day!

The on going Covid restrictions meant that the  children  were unable to visit the school,  so  we  visited the   children instead! 

Ms Masterson  &  Ms  O'  Neill  paid  the  sixth  class  children a socially distanced visit to their homes to present them with  some graduation gifts which  included a  class hoodie, a photo  story of their time in  Lacken and some other graduation gifts. 

Thank  you  to  the  boys, girls,  and their parents  for their lovely warm  appreciative  welcome on our   visit to their homes.

Our  Sixth  class  students are   currently engaging  in a transition  programme on moving to  Secondary School on our Google  classroom platform.  This programme  will  help  and  support  each of them as they progress into their Second  Level  Education.  

Their class teacher is working through various  aspects of this programme with the children, supporting and   addressing any  of their questions or concerns  that  they  may  have, before moving to the various  second  level  schools.  Keep  up  the  great  work  boys and  girls !
