Hello everyone, I hope you are all keeping well.  My name is Kaitlin Lennon and I’m 9 years old. I’m in 3rd class in Schoil Bhride, Dunleer and my teacher is Ms Gillespie.  As you know we are on a lockdown.  I’ve been keeping busy with some interesting assignments for school and Drama.  Ms Gillespie is working really hard to keep teaching us, even from home.  It felt strange being home schooled at first but I’m sure we are all getting used to it now.  

I’m really happy that I still get to practice drama with the Little Duke Theatre as they have moved all their classes online.  

I’m enjoying being at home with my family and having more time to play with my brother, read new books and play board games.  However I also miss all my school friends and my friends from drama too.

I miss my grandparents very much but I know I have to do the right thing which is staying at home to keep them safe.  I get to video chat with them all the time but I miss the hugs!  

We are saving people’s lives everyday by staying at home.  So lets not give up now.  Stay positive!

Hello Everybody, my name is Shane Grogan and I live in Lismanus, Dunleer. I am 9 years old and I am in third class in Scoil Bhride and my teachers name is Ms Gillespie. I have two sisters, Emma and Aoife.

What do I think about Covid 19?

I don’t like Covid 19 because every day people are getting sick. We have to stay at home all the time and I miss seeing my friends and my cousins.  I can’t go to my child minders house Maureen, I miss her so much and all the treats she would give us. I also miss visiting my nanny and grandad’s house but I am lucky that my Grandad Peter lives over the pass and I can see him most days.  

It is my birthday next week and I will be 10 years old but I wont be able to have a party so I am sad about that. My sister Aoife has promised to bake me a cake and Emma is going to buy me something nice.  

How do I keep myself busy?

I have school work to do every day and my mammy and daddy help my sister and me with this. I play football every day and practice my skills and I go for walks with my family and my two dogs Ruby and Buzz. They love to jump in the stream at the bottom of the field and one time me and my sister joined them as it was a warm day.

Ms Gillespie had given us a recipe for scones and I have made them a couple of times. I delivered some to my grandad and my uncle. My dad tried to cut my hair as it was getting long but it didn’t work out that well.

Thanks to all the wonderful people working hard on the frontline helping to keep us all safe. I am looking forward to seeing all my friends  soon. I say my prayers every night that everyone will keep well and I hope that this virus will go away.
