One of the most popular songs that we sing together in Creagh National School is from the Grow in Love series. It is called Circle of Friends and the lyrics are particularly relevant right now. If you get a chance, it might be a nice idea to sing this with your child to remind them that they are never alone, they will always have their friends......''even when they are far apart''.  

NASA has set us a new home learning resource with activities for pupils, virtual tours of the solar system and lots of amazing space images. Click on the image to access this superb website.

As we begin week three of learning at home, we in Creagh National School would like to commend all our pupils for complying with the request to stay at home. We know that you have all been helping out at home, keeping up with your school work, washing your hands and keeping physical distances. We are all very proud of you. Your teachers will be making contact with you through either seesaw or Class Dojo.

• Remember to pace yourselves. Don't try and get all your work done at the same time. It would be a good idea to work off a timetable and stick to a simple routine.
• Now is a perfect opportunity to catch up on reading. Registering with Libraries Ireland is free and can be done online. (You will need an adult to help you set it up.)
• Try and get some exercise, practice your mindfulness, do some free writing , build something, draw something, make something.
• But don't worry. This will all end and we will all have a great party when it does.

​Listen to David Williams read a 20 minutes excerpt from ''The World's Worst Children.''
In this disgusting story, you will hear all about Windy Mindy, the world's smelliest girl! A new excerpt will be released every day. 

In order to comply with the new restrictions on physical distancing announced last night, the school premises should not be used for recreation or other purposes. Locks have been placed on the main gates. We urge everyone to stay at home and help keep us all safe. We will continue to communicate with people via this website and textaparent.
