Update on our plants!Look at how much the seeds have grown in the last two days!!!! I will take a video for you next week so you can see for yourselves. WOW WORKCalendarHandwriting LessonAs we have completed all of our lower case and upper case letters, we are now going to do a handwriting lesson once or twice a week in which we practise writing sentences, today’s lesson is a simple news lesson. We all write the first two sentences and then you come up with your own third lesson. Story Time: Picture Book FridayMathsFor today’s math lesson I have provided a game board for working on our adding to bigger numbers up to 30. I have also provided a number line, remember start on the bigger number and then add on the smaller number. You can use lots of strategies for this count on in your head, empty number line, jumps on the number line or drawing pictures. If you are finding this too hard change the sums.

Good morning everybody and happy Thursday. CalendarDictationStory TimeGaeilgeIn today’s lesson we are going to quickly revise the words from our first video, then I will be introducing some new words and then we will be learning a song with these words in it. There is also an optional colouring page. MathsFor today’s maths lesson I have posted a few counting games where you can pick the level for the children. All of these games are from the website; https://www.topmarks.co.uk/ Art LessonToday’s lesson is based on a story. Watch the story below. This website has lots of discussion topics based on this. https://readandcreate.co.uk/the-dot-by-peter-h-reynolds/ it goes through the pictures and then has some questions at the end. This worksheet came from a book called The Great Isolation, which was created by two teachers, I have linked it below if you want to have a look some of the pages might be handy as an extra activity throughout the next few weeks.
Happy Wednesday everybody. I hope you all enjoyed the video message from all of us in OLV. If you didn’t see it, it’s on the news page. Before we begin our day!Yesterday one of our friends had their 6th birthday, I hope you will all join me as I say a massive HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Ruby!!🎈🎈🎈 She celebrated by having a teddy party!🧸🧸 lets all do the birthday dances to celebrate! CalendarDictationMathsToday’s maths lesson is another target board, remember you don’t need to print anything and you don’t need any paper just answer the questions orally. The idea behind these target boards is to get the children thinking about number and maths but also to help develop their mental maths strategies. You are more than welcome to ask other questions about the target boards. You can use them as game boards or ask the children to put so many pieces of pasta on each square. SPHEI came across some photos of our class while helping with the message video for you all and it made me quite upset because I miss you all and I miss our classroom so today I thought we would focus on this and try and turn them into positive thoughts.

After the video I will post the answers so you can reflect on your number line and check the answer. Don’t forget to check out Ms. Stanley’s new activity using an arithmetic rack in the support section, I’ll leave a link below. Story TimeDance and Movement BreakEnglishWe are going to start with an Oral Language poster, look at the picture and use the second photo for questions and activities to go with the poster. No paper or pencils required.

GaeilgeToday we are moving on to a new topic "Sa Bhaile", the home. Below we are going to revise some of the vocab for a house and then we are going to listen the poem.

Our new wooden houseMeet my dad Seán, 😃 he is a very talented artist and loves to paint and as you can see he is also very talented with woodwork. I asked him would he make a new house for our classroom that would be slightly bigger to fit all the furniture and look at the amazing house he came up with. I love it!!! 🥰❤️ It even has a cat in the window! I can’t wait til we can all play with it. Maths CalendarToday’s calendar is a little different, below you will find a picture of the month of May and some questions about it. These can be done orally or if you choose you can write the answers on a blank page. This is a nice activity to get the class familiar with the calendar.
English: AdjectivesAdjectives are describing words, we use them in our writing to help describe what characters look like or what a scene looks like. Below I would like you to create your own character, it can be a person, superhero, monster, alien, made up creature, animal what ever you would like or it could even be a character we already know about, once you have drawn a picture you are to think of a few adjectives that describe it. I did a sample for you below.

✏️📒Handwriting📒✏️📚Picture book story📚Picture Book Friday from Denise McCarthy on Vimeo. 🧑🏼🎨Art/SPHE: Worry Monster👨🎨As I said in our music video this week, we are going to be making a worry monster out of a tissue box. If you do not have an empty tissue box yet you could use any box but ask a parent to cut out a part for the mouth, or you could wait to this activity when you have one. 😄 🧑🏼🔬Science: Electricity👩🏼🔬Today we are going to be learning a bit about electricity, we will learn what uses electricity, how to keep safe with electricity and I’ll show you some activities you can do using static electricity. We have to be very careful when using electricity as we could get hurt, read the poster below of how to stay safe with electricity. Can you think of any more ways to stay safe? See can you spot some of the dangers in this living room, tell someone at home all the ones you found. If you have a balloon at home and some paper you can try out this experiment below. Watch the video below that shows some super cool experiments using static electricity. When we get back to school maybe we could try some of these! 🎶🎵Happy Friday Dance🎵🎶 |
