Well done students, teachers and parents for making it through Week 2 of remote learning! We are so proud of our school community for pulling together and meeting this challenge head on. Ní neart go cur le chéile - there's no strength without unity. We will send another survey to students today for another check in. We had a super response last week which helped us plan this week so we are asking our students to share their experiences again. The survey will be sent via email. If you don't get it, please email remotelearning@olschool.ie. Have a well earned digital break this weekend. Reach out to your classmates. Keep your social distance. Stay connected, stay safe, stay safe on line.
OLS Believe It to Achieve It Challenge

We're calling on the OLS community to set themselves a challenge...a goal to complete during our social distancing period! It can be anything you want it to be from learning to do a handstand to learning a new language, from knitting to learning to play that guitar you have at home. We want as many of the OLS community as possible to get involved and challenge themselves! Ms Phelan is aiming for a 15-minute wall squat, Ms McGinley wants to master a handstand, Ms Doran is going for 20 keepy-uppies, Ms Byrne is targeting a 5 minute plank while a whole team of teachers has pledged to run 10km...each...without stopping...from their respective socially distanced locations! What will you do? #BelieveittoAchieveit

Let's take life day by day and be thankful for the little things. Don't get caught up in what you can't control. Focus on the positive. Your challenge today is to go to p18 of your homework journal and write in what you are grateful for today. Tell someone at home and ask them what they are grateful for. Keeping track of what we're grateful for keeps us calm and positive!

School Closure Update

The Minister for Education confirmed today that the school closure is to be extended until Sunday April 19th. This means we will continue our remote learning contingency plan, Stay Connected, for a little longer than originally announced. Our commitment is to keep our school community connected and to keep our students' learning on track, albeit remotely. To date, the community drive to achieve these goals, by staff, students and their parents/guardians, is most commendable. As our remote learning journey has become a little longer than originally planned, we would also like to strongly emphasise to students and parents/guardians the crucial importance of maintaining a school routine and structure over the coming weeks. Student feedback has suggested very strongly that this helps students to stay focussed and stay on top of things. We ask our students now to trust their peers' feedback and get the most out of their learning experiences over the coming weeks by establishing a steady routine, staying as close to school hours as possible. We will continue to keep you updated as further information becomes available to us. Many thanks.
Advice from you to you!

Last Friday's Learning Check In was very useful. It gave us a great insight in to what the remote learning experience is like from the student perspective. Teachers can use this information in their planning and teaching to further support you this week. We were also able to collate some of your top tips for each other. Click in to the document to check them out. It also has a link to some Google Classroom assistance regarding assignments, by popular demand! Have a top Tuesday!

To get Monday going... A message from our Head Girl

To the OLS community, Congratulations on completing your 1st week of remote learning! I hope everyone is well and managing to keep their spirits high during this challenging time. During these remarkable times it is important to utilize the extraordinary technology we have available to us to stay connected with our friends and families.  Communicating with our friends who we are so accustomed to seeing everyday is vital in looking after our wellbeing and protecting our mental health. Daily exercise also plays a significant role in protecting our wellbeing and maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Navigating these unprecedented times can be difficult, particularly when it comes to distance learning. Try your best to keep on top of school work and deadlines and don't hesitate to ask for help when needed.  Remember to remain positive, follow the social distancing guidelines and be the best citizens we can be during these times of uncertainty.  We can remain connected with our OLS community this morning with the help of our remote house meeting challenge at 12:10, which promises to be an exciting experience... House from Home! Lily Rath
