The phased reopening of schools continues this morning as 350,000 pupils from 3rd to 6th class primary school and 5th year secondary school go back to the classroom for the first time since the Christmas Holidays. For kids there is excitement and for most parents there is relief.

Henry McKean is at O’Connell School North Richmond Street in Dublin, where 3rd to 6th class are back today. Meaning primary schools nationwide are now reopen completely. He sent us this report.
