Our Lady of Good Counsel GNS

Ferrybank, Waterford

It was great to see the girls return safely to school on Monday. We had a big surprise on Monday when Alan Nolan the author of our class novel ‘Conor’s Caveman’ did a live video call with our class to answer our questions about this book and his experience during lockdown. Alan also illustrates his own books and he took our class through a step by step approach on how to draw a penguin. We all had so much fun on our first day back. A big thanks to Alan for his time and patience.

Homework continued this week with Read at Home 4 and reading for pleasure. Next week 4th class will focus on the strategy ‘Making connections’. The girls will read pages 21 to 24 for homework. It is great to see the girls enjoying reading in school and exploring new authors.

Have a lovely weekend and stay safe.
