**ZOOM TODAY @ 10.30 and 11am ** Work is listed below....! Hi boys and girls, I want to compliment you all at this stage for your dedication to making the best out of this really 'unusual' situation. Sitting in class 3/4 weeks ago, possibly feeling sorry for ourselves that we had just missed the ESB science blast exhibition I wonder how many of us would have predicted that you would be reading a daily class blog this morning!!!!! But as we often speak about in class, we can choose to be 'Glass Half Full'.......we can choose to try and find some silver lining in this dark cloud that is currently passing over us. This outlook or way of thinking must seem very hard for people who are losing their jobs, sick or possibly losing loved ones. Luckily for me, I can only imagine and try to empathise with those who are feeling this hardest. To any of you whose parents are working as nurses or doctors or anybody who must continue to work at this time, make sure you support them and care for them- look after them with great kindness just as they do for you. But Easter brings great hope.....so for the next 2 weeks let's rediscover the things that bring us real joy, peace and happiness. NOT ONLY TO YOU BUT ALSO YOUR LOVED ONES......Maybe your Mam or Dad could do with some help, maybe your younger sibling would enjoy or need a book read to them. You are all wonderful young people with a fabulous attitude. You have been so cooperative during our Zoom sessions and have helped yourselves. I am very proud of you all. Have a wonderful Easter. I am already looking forward to my dark chocolate. Bain taitneamh as an Saoire Cháisc. Mr.Aylward P.S.

Clock time changes tow times a year. In the spring, at 2 a.m. time moves on to 3 a.m. on the clock. Then in the autumn, time moves back . This practice began in Ireland in May 1916. But the idea was Benjamin Franklin much earlier. In 1784, he wrote to a newspaper and proposed change the time to save candles as it would not be dark so early in the summer. People think Franklin was joking in the letter. But the the year after elections, Benjamin Franklin was president of America. When the time change some people began to like it and other people didn't . It was good for the farmers, as they had a longer day to work on the farm during the summer. Over the past few years, different countries have been talking about the practice and a committee has agreed The European Union to an end. The European Parliament has not voted on it however the practice may end in the future.
