Hello girls,

 
I hope you all had a wonderful bank holiday weekend. We have been so lucky with the
weather, it has been so warm and sunny all weekend!!

As we have now officially entered the last month of school (feels weird saying that even
because we’ve had to spend so much time apart already) myself and Ms. Meagher will be
gradually reducing the amount of work we have been doing. Our Gaeilge has slightly reduced
this week as well as your English activities. There are also a range of optional extras if you
would like extra work to complete.

If you have gotten up to any nice activities this week or have work that you have completed at
home that you are particularly proud off please send it on.

Have a wonderful week :D.

 
Talk to you soon,
 
Ms. Moore
 
 
Homework Suggestions for Week 10 – Tuesday 2 nd  – Friday 5th of June:  
 
Completely optional extra work for the week can be found at the end of this
blog post. 
 
 

Tuesday 2nd:
1. Tables: Revise all multiplication tables. Continue to learn all division tables. Try and beat your
own personal best on the 'Hit the Button' website. 
2. Master Your Maths: Test 27
3. Handwriting: Next page
4. P.E. – Activity of your choice from P.E. blog post or your favourite type of exercise for 30
minutes. There are some great activities for active schools week on the school website as
well, take a look at these for some new ideas :). 
5. S.P.H.E.  Kindness chain – for each act of kindness you do this week I would like you to write
it on a piece of a paper. Once you have finished writing your kindness act use Sellotape, a
stapler or glue to turn the piece of paper into a loop. See how long your kindness chain is at
the end of the week . Make sure the strips of paper are thin enough that you can turn them
into a loop. I will have a picture at the end of this blog post to help you imagine what I am
talking about :D.
6. Gaeilge: An Teilifís (Theme: The Television) – Bua na Cainte page 130 – An Phictiúrlann
(The Cinema) – Léigh an scéal (read the story) – déan iarracht an scéal a léamh as Béarla
chomh maith (try to translate the story into English as well). Freagair na ceisteanna ó bhéal
(Answer the questions orally – no writing). Léigh an scéal trí nó ceathair uair (read the story 3
or 4 times). Féach ar na briathra ar bhun an leathanaigh, tabharfaidh sé seo cabhair daoibh
lena ceisteanna a fhreagairt amárach. (Look at the box with the verbs in it and they will help
you answer the questions tomorrow).

Má tá deacrachtaí agaibh leis an bhfoclóir bain úsáid as an suíomh idirlíon teanglann.ie (If
you are finding it hard to understand the new vocab use the website teanglann.ie – this is a

topics.

 Free-writing: Your free writing topic this week is ‘I would like to go back to school
because….. Please don’t forget capital letters, fingers spaces, full stops, paragraphs and
most importantly to read over your writing to make sure it makes sense :).
 RTÉ School Hub – This is a great resource for you to revise various topics covered
throughout the school year and potentially some new content also. There will be an hour of
‘classes’ broadcast from 11am to 12 noon Monday – Friday. There will also be a RTÉ Home
School Extra program at 4.15pm where children’s work which has been sent in will be
broadcast on the television.
 TG4 / Cúla 4 – From Monday the 20th of April, they will be broadcasting an Irish lesson daily
between 10am and 10.30am. This could be really helpful to hear the language being spoken
again and to improve your Irish skills (This can be slightly difficult but it will be helpful to hear
the language being spoken).
 Charlotte’s Web: There are activities for each chapter of Charlotte’s web in our own little
workbook which we only barely got to start in school (The workbook which you got to design
the cover of). You can complete the extra activities for each chapter in this booklet :D as we
go through them each week. This week you can complete the activities for chapters 4, 5, 6 &
7 if you like :D. 
  Diary: Keep a record of what you have been getting up to each week especially now that the
restrictions are starting to lift and we have a little bit more freedom :D. You can write in your
diary every day or once a week.
 Planet Maths (Online book available on folensonline.ie – For those of you who haven’t
done so already go to FolensOnline.ie and click ‘register’ and select ‘teacher’. Fill in a
username, email, and password. For 'Roll Number' use ‘Prim20’) – If you would like extra
Maths work this week complete page 148 & 149 (The Playground) over the course of the
week.
 Table Toppers: Unit 25 – Counting and dividing by 7 (Monday – Thursday) over the course
of the week.
 Online games: Practice your English grammar and spelling as well as all your Maths skills
using the above websites (Online games section).
 SPHE: Complete the mindfulness bingo sheet, choose as many items from it each day
as you want.  They are all really good for your mind.
 SPHE – Family time – ask your parents if you can help them with anything today, it could be
housework, feeding your pet or maybe even helping to cook the dinner? (With all this helping
around the house you might not even have to ask about helping anymore and can do all the
cleaning yourself :D :D )
 English - Readtheory.com – Continue using this website which will improve your reading and
comprehension skills. If this is your first week using this website you can sign up to this
website for free. This is very similar to the SRA comprehensions that we do in school. Once
signed up, you will complete a sample comprehension. This will figure out the correct level for
you. Once complete, you can start reading as much as you like. Even better you’ve to try and
beat your personal best when answering the questions. A fun way to read more every day.
 Gaeilge – practice your reading in Gaeilge by scrolling back through our Bua na Cainte
(Green book) book online which is available at edcolearning.ie (username:
primaryedcobooks  password: edco2020). Pick a different story each day and practice
reading it out loud. To challenge yourself even further try and translate the story into English
orally.
 Gaeilge: Choose a cartoon of your choice to watch throughout
Irish. https://www.tg4.ie/en/player/categories/childrens-tv-shows/
 Watch an episode of News2Day https://trte.rte.ie/news2day/
 Tables – You can never spend too much time practicing your tables. If you are looking for
more to do continue to practice your tables and saying them off by heart! The Hit the Button
game is brilliant and you can continue to try and beat your personal best. Why not play table
champions with your family and see who wins?
 Extra: Activity of your choice from extra work blog post (Great selection on school website as
well of extra work activities).
