Belgrove Senior Girls' School

Hi girls!

I hope you and your families are keeping safe and doing well! I’m really missing seeing all in Room 6 everyday. I hope you have all settled into this new way of learning. Remember, all you can do is your best- Déan do dhícheall!

Here are some answers to the activities you did during the week for you to self correct (using red pen). If you get a sum wrong, try figure out where you went wrong.  If you’re not sure how to work it out, highlight it so we can go over it when we’re back at school 

Mental Maths Week 27 answers

Times tables sheet- answers

Busy at Maths answers

You could also self- correct the following:

• Test your spellings in your English copy or out loud
• Use the self assessment smiley faces at the end of each Go with the Flow page.
• Remember- COPS- (Capital Letters, Organisation, Punctuation and Spellings) when reading over your free writing and ‘Born to run’ summary
• Gaeilge- Foclóir- test yourself out loud

Keep an eye on the blog for updates from me! I’ll be adding next weeks work later on today.

All the best,

Ms. Moore

Hi everyone,

I have attached information below explaining how to set up a Folens online account. This will allow you to access all of the Abair Liom resources including stories, poems, games, songs and vocabulary sheets. I think these will be a huge help to the girls. We are currently on the theme- An Teilifís.

How to set up an account:

– Go to https://www.folensonline.ie/

– Set yourself up as teachers with your own username, password and enter Prim20 as the roll number.

– Search Abair liom F.

– Select Theme (We have done up to An Teilifís)

– Select resource- Each theme has a póstaer- these are great as they tell a story, then ask different vocabulary and questions to do with the story.

I hope this is helpful!

Don’t forget that Mother’s Day is this weekend!  Maybe you could make a card with materials you have at home, or you could do a random act of kindness!

Hi girls,

I have linked below some work to be completed over the next two weeks. The work is laid out day by day, but feel free to complete it in whatever way suits best. I have also included some extra home activities that can be done too! Make sure to read as much as possible, play lots of  games such as board and card games and get some exercise! 

All the best and see you soon!

Ms. Moore

All girls in 4th class have been sent home with relevant books and worksheets. Work will be posted on the blog and from Wednesday onwards can be completed by the girls. They are aware that all the work they are assigned to cover each day is at their level and can be completed independently.

Whilst you do not have to correct the work, we would appreciate if you would check that your child’s work is completed fully at the end of each day.

We will put up answers to their Mental Maths and Busy at Maths on Friday so they can self-correct their work.
We have also provided additional educational websites that your child can access if needed.

Last Wednesday, our class took a trip to Raheny Library to attend a LEGO workshop as part of Science Week. The workshop was all about renewable energy. We learned about the three types of renewable energy- wind energy , water/ hydroelectric energy and solar energy. We then made our own windmills using LEGO. We attached a battery to our windmills to make them rotate like real windmills. We had so much fun and learned so much about renewable energy.
