Hi girls,
We are coming towards the end of the school year. I must congratulate you and your parents on the marvelous work you are doing at home. Here is the plan of work for this week. Please focus on the Maths, Irish & English. I would ask you all to please do the PAWS (Primary Aquatic Water Safety) programme because I think it is really important to know how to stay safe around water this summer.
There are lots of other interesting activities for you if you wish to try them including lots about Life in the 1950s. Do what works for you and your family. I look forward to hearing from you all on Seesaw. Can everyone please post me some of your work during the week. Also if you have any pictures or photos from Activity and Sports week, which you haven’t already sent me, please do so as I will make a Class Sports blog for you.
Slán,
Mrs Brodie 😀

Maths Revision Sheets
Georgian Dublin describes a time in history (1714 to 1830) when Dublin grew as a city. During this time period, four Georges were king, 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. At the end of the Georgian Dublin presentation are some activities you might like to try.
Why not take a virtual tour of Mrs Beatty’s Georgian Home at No.29 Fitzwilliam Street. Click on the following link and Ms O’Reilly the Head Maid will give you the tour.

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.
Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí!
