OUR POSTPONED COMMUNION PHOTOS
Even though the boys were very disappointed that their Holy Communion had to be cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic, they made it a weekend to remember with memories to treasure. They all tuned in to the Parish Mass on Sunday and look forward to the day they can make their first Holy Communion properly.
Seesaw
This week, we swap over to Seesaw as a new platform for our work. I have emailed the access codes to anyone who has granted permission on Aladdin. If you have not yet granted permission, please do so as soon as possible and I will email you your son's code. I will also attach a document to the email that will explain how to set up your son's account. Many Thanks, Ms. McCarthy Tueday 19th May
Morning boys! I hope you enjoyed seeing the slideshow and pictures above. They look brilliant! If you have not signed up to Seesaw, please do so today. Once parents have given permission on Aladdin, I will email them a unique code that is used to set up an account. If you have signed up to Seesaw, well done! Go over and check the work on Seesaw now. The work for today is also outlined below but from next week, it will only be posted on Seesaw. I have also attached the corrections for week 6. You will have a seesaw activity to be completed in your journal every day. The activity will be in different subjects on different days. Give it your best shot and if anyone has any questions just send me an email. Have a great day lads and chat soon! Slán, Ms. McCarthy Postponed Communion
I would like everyone to celebrate what would have been your Communion Day over the weekend. It is completely up to you how to mark the special occasion. It may be something simple like having a little party with your family, baking your favourite cake, having a zoom call with your extended family or anything at all that you enjoy. I am devastated that I cannot celebrate with you, but we will make up for it when we return to school. I would also like everyone to remember the true meaning of making your First Holy Communion. It is about receiving the Body of Christ and becoming a more active member of the Catholic Church. If at all possible, please try and tune into the online mass on Sunday, May 17th. If you would like your photo to be included in the slideshow for the mass, email it to office@naasparish.net as soon as you can. I will be tuning into the mass in Naas too and I would love to see all of your photos on the slide show. I have attached a photo prop below that some boys may like to print off and take a photo with to remember the day their First Holy Communion was postponed. There are different photo props included, so just scroll through them all and print off your favourite one. If you had gotten your communion outfit before lock-down, you might want to try it on for the photo. I would love to see them. I will ask you all to send me a picture of how you celebrated over the weekend and I will make a slide show for the website next week. This will allow you all to see each other. This is not compulsory, but it may be a nice way to lift everyone’s spirits during this difficult time. If anyone has any questions, feel free to email me. Ms McCarthy

Learning at Home
Instead of creating a long list of good websites for the children to use, I have created a padlet with some really great free online tools for digital learning. I will continue to add to it each day. It is cross-curricular and I may make reference to some specific sites in the daily work plans in the future. The boys will be familiar with a number of the sites but most of them are very easy to navigate and the boys should be able to use them independently at their own level and pace. Here is a direct link to the padlet. https://padlet.com/jane_mccarthy29/42ozdm3q2yzl |
