This month as part of Science we will be using keys to identify Irish trees. Last week we went out and about to explore! Why use the textbook when we can be active and learn at the same time? 🙂
In the school grounds alone we were able to identify birch, hawthorn and beech trees. Along our walk around the block we identified many other trees by observing their leaves and fruits. The tallest tree we identified was the horse chestnut tree.
We will be doing a focus study and group project on some Irish trees next week!
Hi Girls!
As discussed in school, you are being asked to produce a project about how our country is governed and managed. You have been assigned your groups and topics in class. (Any questions? Forgot your topic/group members? – Ask your teacher!)
Your project is to presented as a poster or a booklet. It is to be handwritten, although printed pictures are fine. Below is a list of various websites that may be of use to you in your research. Please remember to ask your grown up for permission while using the Internet. It’s also a good idea to consider other sources. Think about if you know of anybody who works in the area you have been asked to research. Do you know anybody who is interested or knows a lot about your topic? You must provide a bibliography at the end of your project, and please remember to critically asses your sources.
Enjoy!!!!

Here are some reading questions you can ask your child before, during and after reading their library book. It is important to take the time to read with your child on a daily basis and discuss the book. Your child should read aloud to you every day. This helps with their fluency, comprehension, articulation and vocabulary skills. Please click the link to view the list of general comprehension questions.
Enjoy your reading 🙂
Here are some activities to help you practise your spellings at home. All you do is click on the PDF link below and print out these activities. Have a spare spelling copy at home and choose one of these activity cards each evening.
This is also a great website to practise your spellings through online activities and games. You have to register first for a free account (ask an adult for help with this) and then add in your list of spellings each week as you go.
Have fun learning to spell 🙂

We ‘d a great day out in Lullymore Farm! We started the day by getting the peatland biodiversity tour where we got to see old Famine houses and stone age settlements. We also visited the fairy village in the woods and had a tour of Lullymore on the train! We finished off the day by petting all the animals and playing some mini golf! 🙂
