At Gaelscoil Chluainín in Manorhamilton, Co Leitrim it was all about space today. Principal Sinéad Ní Thorsnaigh had her one-metre rulers out to measure the distances between desks and chairs to figure out how to accommodate 70 pupils in three classrooms with the correct social distancing.
Along with teacher Máiread Ní Ghonlaigh and SNA Róise Ní Dhomhnaill, she was moving everything that wasn't stuck to the wall to make more space, including bookshelves, desks and chairs.
It saddened them to have to put away the library and look ahead to not being able to tell the children to pick out a book and read and not allowing them to share everything the way they normally would.
