Hi boys and girls. You're in for a treat! Here is Daniel, his brothers and his Mam speaking about one of our favourite authors in Room 15, Oliver Jeffers. How wonderful!
Watch out for some of Oliver Jeffers' key messages about kindness in his books;
Be kind to our planet!
Be kind to ourselves!
Be kind to each other!
We are so proud of you Daniel! Well done to you and your amazing family!

This video will also be shown on the 'The Student's Say' tab on the website too.

I hope you are getting on well with the money topic in Maths. Here is a presentation showing you how to use the interactive games for this that I mentioned yesterday. There are 3 great games. The actual links in the file aren't working for some reason so instead just google;
top marks coins game
top marks toy shop money game
top marks coconut ordering game choose 'prices' and the € symbol at the bottom.
Note - as it says in the instructions in the file for each game click on the European flag to select Euro (it's the blue one with the yellow circle of stars).
Have fun!

For English I hope you have tried some of the tricky word quizzes in our timetable. These are great for reminding us of those words which can't be sounded out to read them.
For our sound of the week 'ou' we know from last week that some words use 'ow' to make this sound. Here is a list of words with the sounds some using 'ou' and some using 'ow'. Try to read them and make some sentences. 
​

Finally for our Joke of the Day
​

 Hi everyone. Happy midweek! I hope you are enjoying our weekly timetable (link here too)

Hi everyone. I hope you are enjoying our new timetable (scroll down to Monday's page). Our sound of the week is 'ou', make sure to watch Ms Shannon's great video giving lots of examples. Here' a little further help. Make a list of the 'ou' words you hear in the video below and, as usual, try making some 'ou' word sentences. 

I hope you have had a go with the calendar activities each day. I was able to bring home our calendar and it's now on my kitchen wall. Look!
​

The weather has been very sunny lately and Annmarie and her dog Ollie have a great pastime for enjoying the lovely weather in the garden. Have you played with bubbles?

Finally a riddle for you to share with your family.

Answer Mushed roooms :-)

Hi boys and girls. Sorry Here's my video now. I had a few issues earlier and a shortened version  uploaded.

Happy Birthday Emma! Hope you have a great birthday on Sunday! Super Seven!

English I hope you are going to have a go at your spellings today (in the weekly timetable).  All you need is a pencil and paper and a family member to call out the spellings. Write today's date 23/4/20 and number your spellings 1 to 10. As always with our Friday quiz there is no pressure. Have a go! Bain triail as!
Maths Have a go at the Master Your Maths Friday Test (Scroll down below the weekly timetable).
I was in school today and met some of the families collecting their food. Room 15 is exactly as we left it. Just to remind you here are a couple of pictures. Have a lovely weekend boys and girls! Take care and don't forget to wash those hands.

Happy Birthday Annmarie! From everyone in Room 15 we wish you a fun birthday and we're looking forward to celebrating with you when we get back to class! In the meantime everybody enjoy a dance for Annmarie's birthday! XX

Art With Annmarie
​Here is another lovely art idea from our birthday girl Annmarie! It is a chalk drawing of a cherry blossom tree. Of course it was my cherry tree which inspired her! Ha Ha!

English
I hope you will have a go at the dictation from our timetable with our 'ow' sound. You can pause the video if it is too fast.
Here is a roll and read game we've played a lot in school to help you remember some 'ow' words. Instead of colouring the words when you roll the number, you could just read the words on the line of the number you roll. Have a go!
You could also try making up a silly sentence using as many of the words as you can. This is my sentence - "The cow took a bow in her gown" OR how about "Wow said the owl and began to howl". Now your turn :- )

And lastly instead of a riddle I'm giving you a tongue twister today.
Mix a box of mixed biscuits with a boxed biscuit mixer​ 
​(Don't forget you've got to say it really fast. Challenge your family to see who can say it fastest! :-)

Hi boys and girls of Room 15!
​I hope you are getting on ok with the weekly schedule and have found some activities to keep you busy! We don't have our new class email addresses yet but hopefully we'll get them soon! Here are another couple of activities for those of you who gobble up work as I know you do :-) 
English as we continue with our sound of the week 'ow' here is a lovely short story called 'The Fox and the Owl' Have a go at reading the story and make a list of the 'ow' words you can spot. Have a go at making an 'ow' sentence or story (a nonsense one could be fun?) Remember it doesn't have to make sense!

Maths I hope you are remembering your counting activities in the timetable and your Master Your Maths page. Here's an extra little revision for my Room 15 Mathletes :-) You can practice writing your number words, start from 1 one if you like? In part 2 below you can replace the numbers e.g. "10 comes after_" with any other number e.g. "27 comes after_" Enjoy!

And lastly a new riddle for you to challenge your family with.
Question Why do bees hum?
Answer Because they don't know the words!
Chat tomorrow! X Ms Byrne

Hi boys and girls! Here are a couple of pictures of the cherry blossom tree in my garden. It is so beautiful at the moment! Today was windy and lots and lots of the pink petals came fluttering down. It almost looked like it was snowing pink flakes. Now the whole garden is carpeted in soft petals. I love Spring!

I hope you had a chance to look at the weekly schedule below and the links for the activities are working ok for you. Any issues, let me know in the comments. 
​ 
Our sound of the week is 'ow' saying 'ou'. Here is a fun Alphablocks video with lots of 'ow' words. See how many you can spot, and maybe try writing them down and putting them in a sentence? 

Here is a riddle for you guys!
Question What has hands but doesn't clap?
Answer A clock :-)
Do you know any riddles or jokes? I'd love to hear them in the Comments.
Bye for now!

Here a few more ideas for things to do over the Easter. Have fun!
