Hi everyone! Here is our learning for this week, the last week of May! We hope you had a super weekend and are all set for this week. Log on to Seesaw to see a video message from your teacher and to say hello back!
Below you will find a suggested daily schedule on an easy-print document for each day.
Seesaw
We are delighted that Seesaw seems to be working so well for our families and we continue to plan more work on that site. Any worksheets which are mentioned on the daily plans will also be accessible on Seesaw and can be filled in digitally.
Aisling will also be assigning some tasks on Seesaw, for anyone who would like to try them! These are bonus activities - she would be delighted if you gave them a go!
Pupil books:
Monday is Book Collection day. If you are in a position to collect books, most of the written tasks can now be filled into the books, particularly for Maths and Gaeilge. If you are not in a position to collect your books, you can find the relevant worksheets on Seesaw and fill them out there, instead. We hope that works ok for everyone.
Language Fortnight:
These two weeks form our virtual Language fortnight. There will be activities which you can participate in throughout the week and can be found here - feel free to contribute to the page, if you wish!
Our learning topics for this week are:
English: Dictionary work / Reading comprehension
Maths: Capacity
Gaeilge: Caitheamh Aimsire (pastimes/hobbies)
SESE (Geography): Counties and rivers in Ireland
Caitríona noticed that we are learning about the counties of Ireland this week and she found these brilliant lessons for us, on the Home School Hub! Check them out if you can:
Daily tasks
Some activities are to be done every day, just like we did for our Home Learning throughout the year:
Spellings: Learn 4 spellings each day
Reading: Read for at least 20 minutes.
Tables: Practise your multiplication tables (focus on ÷3 and ÷4 this week)
Gaeilge: Practise 5 questions of your choice and answer orally.
Geography: From Tuesday - Friday, you will be revising the counties of each province.
Whole-school event: Go to the Language page for today’s activity!
Some notes for parents/guardians re: Gaeilge:
Also, we do understand that Gaeilge might be difficult for parents. We have provided a ‘Gaeilge Support Document’ with relevant translations. We hope the videos and teaching materials on Seesaw will help your child to try most of the work. However, we do understand that it might be overwhelming - if you find that it is too much, you can of course choose some other activities for your child.
Good luck for this week!
We hope the work for this week goes well. Remember that the work assigned is only a suggestion. We understand that this is an extraordinary and challenging time - just do whatever is manageable for your family. If you would like to try some extra activities, remember to check out the Bonus Activities page on our website.
Remember, if you would like your work to be on our website, remember to submit it here!
