HAPPY EASTER HOLIDAYS!!

Beannachtaí na Cásca oraibh!

I would like to say well done for all of your hard work and efforts over the past few weeks. I know it hasn’t been easy and I must say how proud I am of each and every one of you !

The Easter Holidays are now here so it’s time for you to put your feet up and enjoy a well-deserved break. You’ll be glad to hear I won’t be setting any school work for the next two weeks!!!

The answers for last week’s work are below this post. There was a mistake in the answer book on pg 117 Q2 a. The area should be 47cm2 not 45cm2. I know you enjoy telling the book when it’s wrong! 😉

I’ve no doubt you’ll continue to keep active and fit over the break. Play in the garden, read a plethora of books, play board games, bake, get creative or whatever else you enjoy doing.

If you would like to, you could send me a couple of pictures of your work or art to the email address schoolclosure5thclass@belgroveseniorgirls.ie . Maybe send something that you are really proud of and be sure to put my name, Ms. Furness, in the subject line. I would love to see how you are getting on!

Some Easter Ideas if you’re stuck for something to do:

• Perform an Easter show for your Family!
• Learn a new skill
• Play on Mangahigh
• Make a place name for each member of your family for dinner
• Make and decorate an Easter Tree
• Make Easter bunting
• Easter art e.g. egg decorating
• Make an Easter card for each member of your family.
• Make some art for others
• Make an Easter Poster
• Do some Baking
• Make a bookmark for every member of your family
• Do some bird watching
• Explore the nature in your garden
• Spring Clean!
• Continue to help out around the house
• If you would like to watch Easter Sunday Mass you can find the link on the school website under the Religion section.

Remember it is your Easter break, so relax and have fun with your family. Most importantly, don’t forget to eat some Easter Eggs!!! I can’t wait to munch on all the chocolate.

Happy Easter to the amazing Room 13 ladies. I miss you all and I’m really looking forward to being back to school as soon as possible.

Hello Ladies,

Just another little quick check in to say I hope you’re all doing OK! I’m sure you heard the news that we won’t be back to school next week so I’ll pop next week’s work on the blog for Monday.

If you click on the blue link below this message you can open the answers to the rest of the Weight Chapter, the Look Back 7, as well as the next week Mental Maths for home correcting. 

I hope you were able to try out Joe Wick’s fitness videos on youtube. If not, I’m sure you were able to stay active in your own way 🙂

I also found a cool coding activity on Mangahigh. I wonder if any of you can route out your Mangahigh passwords!!!

Don’t forget to help out as much as possible around the house too and keep up your own personal reading. I hope you are your family are all keeping safe and well.

Hi Ladies!

I’m sure you are missing the fun and laughter of Room 13! I know it’s not easy at the moment but I hope you and your families are all well and staying safe. We hope to be back together soon but in the meantime keep up all your hard work, and of course keep having lots of fun at home, with plenty of fresh air! Now is the best time to be creative and do more of the things you really enjoy! 🙂

Firstly, if you haven’t heard of Joe Wicks(The Body Coach TV), he has a Youtube Channel where he will be doing live workouts for everyone at home Monday-Friday at 9am. It’s a great way to wake up and start the day off!

I really hope you are managing the work I assigned for you, especially without the chat and discussions of the classroom. Remember to do a little bit at a time and ‘Déan do Dhícheall’.  Take plenty of movement breaks.

Don’t forget to find a nice working environment and keep everything neat and tidy, including your maths. Show your steps! 

I have attached the Busy At Maths answers for Weight pg135-137 as well as the Mental Maths Answers for week 25. Click on the blue link at the end of my message.

You still have til Friday to finish the rest of the Weight chapter. Some of the problems are quite tricky so if you can’t do them all, it is quite OK. Please don’t worry. Correct the work like we do in school. If you get any incorrect, write a little note to yourself as to where you may have gone wrong. You could also do some baking or help with the cooking at home, using a scales to weigh out the ingredients correctly. Yum!

If you are finished the Weight Maths Chapter and you would like to do a little bit more, you could challenge yourself to try ‘A Quick Look Back 7’ p140.

I’m sure you are enjoying our new class novel ‘Wonder’. It may be hard to stick to reading just 6 pages a day! Try to read to p57 by this Friday 27th March.

ABAIR LIOM: Your parents can now set up their own Folens account to access the Abair Liom resources- our games and activities! They simply register as a teacher, with their own email and password and use Prim20 as their roll number! They could try this out if they wanted. It might make the ‘Aimsir’ chapter a little bit easier.

I’m sure you are being creative with your Geography projects. You can include as many of the topics as you want and if Geography is your ‘thing’ and you’re really enjoying the project work, you can choose to do both Holland AND Poland!

Keep up with your own reading every day also, play lots of games, keep active, be imaginative and most importantly stay creative! Be sure to help out as much as possible around the house too.

Hopefully we’ll be back having fun together soon!
