Hi everyone,
How are you all? We hope you are all keeping well and have been working hard on your school work at home. Keep up the good work! We miss you all and hope to see you all again soon.
We have set out guidelines below for work to complete next week, 30th March- 3rd April. We hope to begin using Seesaw with the class this week and we will be in contact with more information on this. We understand that you are doing your best at home during this difficult time to provide an education for your child and we are very grateful for the work you have done with them so far. We appreciate that circumstances are different for us all at the moment and we don’t want to add further pressure- decide as a family what is manageable in your own circumstances.
Keep safe everyone,
Ms Mc Kiernan & Mrs Buckley

English:
Reading:
Read any book/comic/magazine/internet article etc. that is of interest to your child, with your support if necessary, and then do the following;
1. The child retells the story in their own words.
2. You ask “who/what/where/when/why do you think/what if/how do you know” questions in relation to what was read.
3. The child writes a short paragraph about what they have read.
4. For the junior classes – continuous practice of sight words is important.
Spelling:
1. It is important to keep up with the *SOS (Say the word, Say the letters as you write them, Say the word again) and Look Say Cover Write Check approaches in relation to class spellings work
Writing:
Keep a diary of daily events, you can illustrate this if you wish.
Useful sites: · www.scoilnet.ie · www.worldbookonline.com accessed through the scoilnet site above.
Maths:
1. Continuous practice of sums using pencil and paper as appropriate for your child’s class level i.e. addition, subtraction, multiplication and division (please include subtraction and addition with renaming, long multiplication and long division as appropriate.)
2. Tables Practice: Oral drills on all tables covered to date, the Hit the Button game accessed on www.topmarks.co.uk is extremely helpful.
Maths practice as above must be practiced daily so that progress made to date will be maintained.
