Home Learning with Seesaw
From this Tuesday the 11th of January, all teachers will be assigning work to their classes through the Seesaw app.  If you have any difficulty accessing the app please contact me at castlegarns@gmail.com or your child's teacher via their email.
Below I have included a link to two videos about how to download and use the Seesaw app, one using a laptop and one using an iPhone or iPad (this will also apply to Android phones or tablets).
Find the vidoes here...

Please do not hesitate to contact me, at castlegarns@gmail.com, or your class teacher via their email, if you have any issues or queries.
​​Please remember, none of the work prescribed is mandatory, simply do what you can. In the current climate, we completely understand the extra pressures and strains on parents. Upon returning to school, teacher’s will meet the children wherever they are in their learning.
Stay safe and well,
Caitriona McCormack
