Good morning! This week’s work is organised for you in a daily schedule grid, at the end of the Learning at Home document. Organise your day to suit your family and your household.  Do as much as you can from the list each day, but do focus in particular on the core subjects: English, Maths and Irish.

Try your best, but if you can’t do something, move on to the next thing on your list. Ask me if you have any questions at all. Déan do dhícheall!  I look forward to seeing your work on Seesaw

Worksheets for revising multiplication tables

Georgian Dublin describes a time in history (1714 to 1830) when Dublin grew as a city. During this time period, four Georges were king and ruled over Great Britain and Ireland. Hence the word Georgian.

Houses built at this time had a particular style of architecture, they were all similar and very symmetrical. The Casino in Marino is a magnificent and local example of architecture of this time.

Have a look at my Power point presentations which will help you to learn more:

In the Power points there are links to interesting videos and virtual tours- Please ask your parents before clicking on any link.

Here is a worksheet, which, if you have access to a printer, you might enjoy. It relates directly to the Virtual Tour of No. 29 Fitzwilliam Street. It is very good but quite long so you may not want to print all of it.

Handel’s ‘Messiah’ was first performed in Georgian Dublin in 1742 on Fishamble St, close to Christchurch Cathedral. The performance was so popular, that the organisers worried that everyone wouldn’t fit in the hall. So they asked ladies to wear no hoop under their skirt, and for gentlemen to leave their swords at home.

I plan to archive a number of Seesaw activities at the end of the week, which may help to simplify your daughter’s work. An email and blog post will follow.

Use the Bird Survey grid to log any birds you see in your garden, from your window or balcony, or when you’re out for a walk. There is an example to show how to fill in the grid on Seesaw. Sketch or draw any four of the birds you spot.

The website https://www.petmania.ie/wildlife/common-irish-garden-birds will help you to identify the birds. Click on the bird name to see a photo of each bird and more information about them.
