Hi everyone. Hopefully you have all received your skipping ropes by now. Have a look at Ms McSweeney's wonderful skipping school video below. I got myself an adult skipping rope and am enjoying her skipping lessons. It reminds me of when I was in school. If you'd like to send me a video of you skipping we can put it up on the Skipping School page. Enjoy skipping school and the sunshine!

What's in this video?
  • 0:00 - 1:30 Hello and how to size your rope
  • 1:30 - 4:00 Warm up jumps, have some fun
  • 4:00 - 6:00 Turning the rope (skipping for beginners)
  • 6:00 - 7:00 Workout explanation
  • 7:00 - 10:00 Fun Workout - Follow along with me (suitable for all levels)
​​
As you now have your books I'm not going to add extra work on the daily page just choose a page from any of your books for extra activities. Let me know if you need any suggestions or help.

Finally a Tongue Twister for today.
Slick Trixie, the tricky pixie, picked sticks.
Don't forget you have to say it fast.

Hi everyone! Well, the big news is that the blue tit fledglings have finally left our nest box. On Sunday evening we noticed the baby birds started to peep out and get more curious about the outside world. Take a look!
Yesterday morning when I woke up there was no chirping from the nest but then I found these two on the ground. You have to look closely because they are quite well camouflaged, they blend in with the background. This is a good way for them to hide from their predators the cats and the magpies. 
I spent a lot of time watching out for cats yesterday. I did some research and I learned that it is very common for some of the babies (fledglings) to not be ready to fly for a couple of days after they leave the nest. I watched the parents swooping down to feed them every few minutes. And the good news is this morning they were flying up on to the clothes line. They are getting stronger and better at flying every hour. I will miss these cute little faces!
Picture
There is already lots to do in the timetable this week but if you would like an extra activity there is a lovely comprehension text where we read the text and answer the questions called The Nest in our comprehension book. It's on page 21 You'll probably need help reading some of the words.

Answer Puss in Boots

I hope you enjoyed getting your books back and your new skipping rope! You may need to shorten the rope if it is tripping you. Thanks so much for your video Freija - super skipping!! For anyone who didn't get to pick up their books there will be another chance Monday 11 - 12. 
WOW WORK Here is a sample of the wonderful work you boys and girls are doing. Fantastic! Remember if you can send me your work before Friday I will have it up on that week. Also, if you can send it as a photo attachment .jpg I can add it to the slide show. Ionela I have a whole file of your amazing work which I loved reading!

Hi everyone. It is another sunny day, I hope you get to play outside, and don't forget your sun cream! I have been in school for the last two days sorting and organising your books, copies, folders and scrapbooks for collection on Thursday. I enjoyed working with Annmarie (from a 2 metre distance of course) but Room 15 was very quiet without you guys. I would like to say a big Thank you Annmarie and Donna!
You will receive a school text with details of First Class's time for collection. Please ask a neighbour or friend to collect them for you if you can't as we will refer to them for learning in the coming weeks. They are very useful to use in combination with the learning activities or when a computer/tablet is not available. If you can't have your child's books collected please send me an email [email protected]

I hope you will have time to watch my videos in the SESE section of the timetable, here are the links again just in case.
​the story The Blue Tit and the Caterpillar vimeo.com/418378429 ​
and the second one is a fact video about the nest in my garden

I would love if you could have a go at drawing the life cycle, the activity sheet is given there. Here is a reminder of the key words you will need

And don't forget to have a go at Ms Fallon's Judith Kerr quiz

 Hi everyone. There is actually such a lot on the timetable this week I'm reluctant to put any more work up. It was highlighted to me by a parent that they couldn't see the timetable on this page today. If anyone else had an issue please drop me an email at [email protected]. Thanks!
English Here is a nice display of OR words for our sound of the week made by Ms Connolly. Have a go at reading them and putting them in sentences.
Picture
Maths We're learning about 3D shapes this week, I hope you're enjoying revising them. Do you remember this song we played in Room 15? Did you spot the extra shape? Yes, it's a pyramid.
Picture
And today we have a riddle which is a kind of puzzle. See if you get the meaning of this one. 
Question  What stays where it is even after it goes off?
Answer An alarm clock
Ha Ha! Chat tomorrow. XX Ms Byrne
