Junior Infants teacher Jennifer Ní Chathaláin, of Gaelscoil Uí Drisceoil, Glanmire, county Cork
This afternoon.
Via RTE news:
Junior infants teacher Jennifer Ní Chathaláin can now use facial expressions as well as her voice to teach her class of five and six-year-olds as, for the first time in a long, long time, she no longer has to wear a face mask in class.
“It’s the sense of normality that we have missed,” she told RTÉ News.
“I’m looking forward to being able to sit down and do circle time, with the kids sitting next to them on the carpet and reading a book to them, where they can sit wherever they want. It’s the structure and rigidity of the restrictions that have really been felt.
“Now it feels like it’s just back to normal, the way it should be in a junior infants class, where kids can mix and socialise and they can develop new friendships and they can expand their social networks.
“It’s a really positive day today.”
Five-year old Seb MacCarthaigh agrees.
“I am really happy because I can hear Múinteor Jennifer’s voice and I can see her face,” he said.
