Belgrove Senior Girls' School

Hi girls,

I hope you enjoy the last week of activities. There are some fun virtual tours again this week. There is a talent competition and some really fun art activities. We will also be finishing the novel we have been reading, Ickabog!

I can’t believe we are nearly at the end of the school year! I have been so impressed with all your work over the last number of weeks.

Keep an eye out on Seesaw for our end of year message before the end of the week. Have a brilliant week!

Ms. Davey

Dia Daoibh!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

We will be continuing to read Ickabog this week. I’m glad so many of you are enjoying JK Rowling’s new book. I must admit I’m finding it a real page-turner!

I have attached the links to watch for this week’s writing activities and we will continue to write out and learn our Irish verbs. In maths we will be doing capacity this week. We covered all this in maths stations without using our books so it should be just some fun revision.

Brazil projects are due at the end of this week. I will put up a folder on Seesaw that the girls can add them to when they are finished or if it’s easier you can email me their work to schoolclosure4thclass@belgroveseniorgirls.ie. I can’t wait to see them!

I hope you all have a great week!

Monday’s writing activity video link: https://www.literacyshed.com/soar.html

Wednesday’s writing activity: Watch Video https://youtu.be/zzFl3-KR7xA and then write a dialogue for the short animation (see worksheet below)

Just in case the verb endings are causing any confusion, I have attached this more detailed explanation which outlines what verbs break the rules. However, writing them out will help the girls become familiar with how they look.

Hi girls,

I hope you are all enjoying Sports Day.⛹🏽‍♀️🤸🏼‍♀️ I have attached a folder of activities below that I also posted earlier this week. There is a sheet with 10 different activities. You can decide yourself which you would like to do, or get creative and come up with your own ideas. You can send in some photos to Seesaw to keep me posted on what fun activities you do!

I am uploading the answers for this week’s work for you incase you did not see it on Seesaw. I have attached all the answers for Mental Maths in case any of you did Monday and Friday (even though it wasn’t on the plan!!).

I’m delighted to hear how much you are all enjoying the new book, Ickabog. 📖

Enjoy the rest of your day and have a lovely weekend! ☺️

Slán go foill,

Pupil Grammar Book: I have written example sentences using the new words. Your sentences will be different but you can check them for spelling and punctuation 🙂

There are many possible answers for some of the collective nouns. For example, you can say a herd of cattle, a herd of sheep or a herd of elephants.

Page 69: Double check you’ve underlined the new phrase in pencil and that you’ve underlined the verb in red.
