Ariana from 4th class was very busy doing an Apple Juice Experiment,. It looks like great fun! Thanks Ariana for the step by step instructions. Why not try it out yourself at home?! 🙂

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
We hope that you and your family are well during these difficult times. As always, the school is here to support where possible and are available on tullowgns.ias@eircom.net. We will be opening the school yard on Tuesday, 2nd June to allow you to collect your daughter(s) materials (books, resources etc).
To ensure your safety and to comply with government regulations, you will need to read this letter very carefully as you will need to follow the guidance given around collection on the allocated day for your daughter(s) class.
STEP 1: Locate the date and time when books will be available for your daughter(s) class from the list below.
| Collection Day | Time: 10am | Time: 12noon | Time: 2pm |
| Tuesday 2nd June | 6th ( Mr. O’Flaherty) | 5th(Ms. Madden) | 4th (Ms. Dillon) |
| Wednesday 3rd June | 3rd(Ms. Brooks) | 2nd Room 1(Ms. O’Reilly) | 2nd Room 2 (Ms. Kennedy) |
| Thursday 4th June | 1st( Ms. Byrne) | Senior Infants Room 4 (Ms. Hennessy) | Senior Infants Room 5 ( Ms. Wall) |
| Friday 5th June | Junior Infants (Ms. Ryan) |
If you have more than one daughter in the school, books will be provided to you as a family for the most senior child.
E,g If you have a daughter in 4th class, 2nd class and Junior Infants, all books will be given to you on Tuesday, 2nd June at 2pm.
STEP 2: Arriving at School
Whether you are travelling to school on foot, by car or otherwise, it is important to ensure you follow these directions in order to reduce risk and comply with government regulations.
There will be staff around the site to help with movement but please make sure that you uphold social distancing rules. Please do not approach staff unless you require help with movement (and please don’t be offended as we are simply trying to keep us all safe!).
STEP 3: Collecting Books and resources
When you reach the main gate, you will be directed to the right and asked to walk up the ramp (alongside the Orchard). You will be met by a staff member who will bring you to the collection point in the playground.
STEP 4: Exit the Building
To ensure your safety, we are operating a one-way system so everyone will have to leave by exiting the playground and walking down the steps (at reception area).
We understand this is a difficult time for everyone and we appreciate that this experience is not exactly how we would love to be able to do things. Unfortunately, we have to reduce the risk of physical contact so it is likely you may not speak to anyone while you are here. It’s taken immense effort to try and safely coordinate over 260 pupils resources for collection.
Remember, if you have more than one daughter you do not need to come to the school for separate collections. All books etc. for your family will be given when you come to collect your oldest daughter’s belongings. If for any reason you cannot come to the school at the allocated time please email tullowgns.ias@eircom.net and we will try to facilitate you. A text reminder will be sent to you alongside this notice along with an update on the date of collection.
The resources will be in a plastic bag which we advise you do not open for at least 2 days. In the event of poor weather, books will be distributed in the hall. Please follow the advice of staff in the event of this occurring on the day.
As always, I thank you for all your support at this time. I will keep you updated as things develop.
Is mise le meas,
Ms. Coen.

Cien. vecāki/aizbildņi,
Mēs ceram, ka Jūsu ģimenei šajā pārbaudījumu pilnajā laikā klājas labi. Kā vienmēr iespēju robežās skolas atbalsts ir pieejams, elektroniskai saziņai e-pasts: tullowgns.ias@eircom.net.
Skola tiks atvērta no otrdienas, 2. jūnija, lai Jūs varētu saņemt Jūsu bērna mācību materiālus (grāmatas, palīgmateriālus u.c.).
Lai ievērotu drošību saskaņā ar valdības noteikumiem Jums šī vēstule ir jāizlasa ļoti rūpīgi, jo jums būs jāievēro norādijumi jūsu bērna klases mācību materiālu saņemšanai jums norādītajā laikā.
Pirmkārt: sarakstā zemāk ievērojiet dienu un laiku, kad Jūsu meitas klases mācību materiāli būs pieejami.
| Diena |
Time: 10am | Time: 12noon | Time: 2pm |
| Otrdiena 2. jūnijs | 6. klase ( Mr. O’Flaherty) | 5. klase (Ms. Madden) | 4. klase (Ms. Dillon) |
| Trešdiena 3. jūnijs | 3. klase (Ms. Brooks) | 2. klase, telpa 1 (Ms. O’Reilly) | 2. klase, telpa 2 (Ms. Kennedy) |
| Ceturtdiena 4. jūnijs | 1. klase ( Ms. Byrne) | Vecākā sagatavošanas klase, telpa 4 (Ms. Hennessy) | Vecākā sagatavošanas klase, telpa 5 ( Ms. Wall) |
| Piektdiena 5. jūnijs | Jaunākā sagatavošanas klase (Ms. Ryan) |
Ja Jums ir vairāk kā viena meita, kura apmeklē skolu, grāmatas tiks izsniegtas kopā uz ģimeni kad izņemsiet vecākā bērna mācību materiālus.
Piemēram, ja Jums ir meita 4. klasē, 2. klasē un jaunākajā sagatavošanas klasē, tad visas grāmatas tiks izsniegtas otrdien, 2. jūnijā 14.00.
Otrkārt: Ierodoties skolā
Lai vai kā Jūs ieradīsities skolā, ar mašīnu vai ar kājm, svarīgi, lai samazinātu risku un rīkotos saskaņā ar valdības noteikumiem Jums jāseko šiem norādijumiem.
Skolas personāls palīdzēs organizēt pārvietošanās kārtību, bet lūdzu ievērojiet sociālās distancēšanās noteikumus. Lūdzu, neejiet klāt skolas personālam, izņemot gadījumu ja nepieciešama palīdzība ar pārvietošanās kārtību (un lūdzu neapvainojaties, jo mēs vienkārši censamies ievērot drošību!).
Treškārt: Saņemot grāmatas un materiālus
Sasniedzot skolas vārtus Jums tiks norādīts doties pa apvedceliņu uz augšu. Tur Jūs satiksiet skolas personālu, kas Jūs pavadīs līdz grāmatu saņemšanas punktam pagalmā.
Ceturtkārt: Atstājot teritoriju
Lai nodrošinātu Jūsu drošību mēs izmantosim viena virziena kustības principu, tāpēc ikviens dosies prom dodoties lejā pa kāpnēm.
Mēs saprotam, ka šis ir grūts laiks ikvienam un šiš noteikti nav veids kā mēs vēlētos lietas risināt, bet diemžēl mums ir jānovērš fiziskās saskarsmes risks, tādēl ņemiet vērā ka ļoti iespejams, ka Jūs atrodoties skolas teritorijā ar nevienu nesarunāsities. Lielas pūles ir ieguldītas, lai koordinētu vairāk kā 260 skolēnu materiālu drošu izsniegšanu.
Atceraties, ja Jums skolā ir vairāk kā viena meita Jums nav jānāk uz skolu vairākas reizes. Visas grāmatas jūsu ģimenei tiks izsniegtas, kad jūs ieradīsities saņemt vecākā bērna grāmatas un materiālus. Ja kāda iemesla dēļ Jūs nevariet ierasties jums norādītajā laikā lūdzu rasktiet mums uz tullowgns.ias@eircom.net un mēs mēģināsim rast risinājumu. Vecākiem tiks izsūtīta arī atgādinoša īsziņu par noteikto grāmatu saņemšanas dienu un laiku.
Mācību materiāli būs ielikti plastmasas maisā un mēs iesakam to neatvērt vismaz divas dienas. Sliktu laika apstākļu gadījumā grāmatas tiks izsniegtas zālē. Lūdzu sekojiet skolas personāla norādijumiem konkrētajā dienā, ja grāmatas tiks izsniegtas zālē.
Kā vienmēr es pateicos par Jūsu atbalstu un tiklīdz būs iespejams es Jūs informēšu par turpmāko situacijas attīstību.
Ar cieņu,
Ms. Coen.
School Books and Resources
According to the Roadmap for Reopening Society and Business issued by the Department of the Taoiseach and the Department of Health, only staff can access our school building on the 18th of May for the organisation and distribution of remote of learning.
Therefore, in line with Public Health advice we will gather all books, workbooks, copies and work belonging to each child and place it in a bag which will be labelled clearly with your daughters name. In order to distribute the books to each family this process will take some time as there is a minimum number of staff allowed into the building each day.
Notice and clear guidance will be issued to families regarding the collection of school materials in the coming weeks. A text will also be sent. Please ensure to check your texts regularly and the website for further updates.
Please be patient as we endeavour to do our best under the circumstances to ensure the safety of staff and all those in our school family.

A huge thank you and well done to all those who took part in our Easter Competition. It was a pleasure to see so many children and families engage with it.

The prizes for each winner will be in the post in the coming days.
Enjoy the weekend,

Good morning to you all,
An update has come from Bishop Denis (below), regarding the celebration of the Sacrament of Communion and Confirmation this year. Unfortunately, as per his statement, they will be postponed for now. As soon as any new information or updates arrive I will let the families know.
We are thinking of all the children in Second and Sixth class, their families, teachers and friends. We pray for you all and look forward to a day when we can celebrate together.
First Holy Communion & Confirmation: I am very aware that we are entering the ‘high season’ for First Holy Communion ceremonies. I am also conscious that 39 out of our 56 parishes have not yet celebrated Confirmation. In honesty it is difficult to see a huge change post the current restrictions, which expire on May 5th. With that in mind, as First Holy Communion ceremonies are already diaried for the weekends of May, I suggest they, like Confirmation ceremonies are now postponed until we get further guidance regarding large public gatherings.
I want to thank our Principals and teachers for the great work they do in helping prepare our young people for the sacraments, work done in cooperation with the local parish and the families of the young people. I also thank Maeve Mahon, our Coordinator for Primary Education. This is a hugely regretful decision, but it is important that while the ceremonies may be postponed, the preparation continues. In early May resources will be sent out by email from Maeve for parishes and for schools and available to families and the wider community on the KandLe website.
I hope you all had an enjoyable and restful Easter. No doubt the Easter Bunny came with some treats during the holidays. 🐇
As we begin our last term I want to encourage you to keep up all that you have been doing to date. I know it is not easy but together we can succeed.😊 Remember to keep your distance from others if you are out and practise good etiquette around coughing and sneezing.
Your teachers have been very impressed with all your work and I have seen so many examples of writing, drawing, baking and cooking- I am not one but surprised by how amazing they are. Be sure to email them with your updates as it is great knowing that you enjoy the activities prepared for you. If you cannot email that is ok too- we know that everyone is trying their best!
A reminder to all that learning packs are located on the school website. Click the Learning Packs for Covid 19 tab. Select the class. Click on the week of work which you wish to view/ download. Remember, use it as a menu and only do what suits you and your family. If you are unsure email your teacher for further support.Their details can be found on the plan each week.
If you have changed your contact number or have not been receiving any texts from the school, please email tullowgns.ias@eircom.net immediately. It is vital that the school has up to date contact numbers in the event that we need to make contact with you. 📳
Well done to each and every girl who recently entered our ‘Crackin’ Competition’ for Easter. The entries received were phenomenal. I hope you all had as much fun creating, writing and drawing your entry as I did seeing them. Winners will be announced on Friday, April 24th so keep an eye on our school website…🎉
Stay safe,
Ms.Coen
