 This week we will be listening to the Irish language rather than writing it. Tg4 have something very similar to the RTE School Hub. It's called Cúla 4 and it is on at 10 am every morning if the children could watch a small bit of it everyday it will help improve vocabulary and listening skills. We will put the Cúla 4 timetable up on Seesaw so it will be easy to see what lesson third class is doing that day.

                                                                Roots of Empathy

Margaret would like to thank third class for taking parts of Roots of Empathy in the classroom this year. She would like to give you the opportunity to say goodbye to baby Oisín. For 24 years in Roots of Empathy classes all over the world, students have made a wish for their baby at the end of the program. The instructor created a Wishing Tree which was presented to their Roots of Empathy baby. For the first year ever, Roots of Empathy students have not been able to say goodbye to their baby in the usual way. Therefore Margaret would like to give all of you the opportunity to send a wish to baby Oisín. The wish should be a heartfelt wish that you make to baby Oisín, for when he reaches your age.When you return all your wishes for baby Oisín. We will send them onto Margaret and she will include them on a virtual Wishing Tree which she will share back with us, baby Oisín and his family.

Examples:
