Good Morning to all our wonderful girls in St. Philomena's N.S. As you can see my webpage got a little makeover over the long bank holiday weekend, it might be a little easier to find our way around now. Summer has arrived but at the minute we may be feeling sad and bored stuck at home, but we are safe at home. We are all missing school, missing our friends, missing little trips to the shops, and things are not the same at all. BUT slowly by slowly things will get a little easier, we just need to keep doing what we are doing for another little while longer. We can do this together girls, Our magical rainbow is on the way... Stay Safe and Keep Smiling Luv Ms. O Meara For the month of May we are going to work on a Home Learning Menu based on different themes. This week's theme is one based on a sport that I love, a sport I am so passionate about and a sport that is truly missed in many homes, clubs and counties around Ireland. It is of course...
Looking out for a Hero In Literature (books and writing) a hero is... * A person noted for acts of courage who can risk their own life to save others. * In mythology and legend (just like Setanta) characters show great courage and strength and are often favoured by the Gods. *Often featured as the principal character in a novel, poem, or dramatic presentation. In real life heroes take on many different forms and evolve from many different situations. Heroes stand for something Heroes make a difference Heroes can be unnoticed Heroes help Heroes risk their own lives to save others Heroes beat the odds Thank you to all our frontline heroes helping us to keep safe. Who is your GAA Hero?Choose a few words from the word wall above (crokepark.ie) and use them as inspiration to write about or draw a picture of your GAA Hero. What number is your GAA Jersey?My favourite position to play on the camogie field was number 7. So when I wore this jersey, I was a Prime Number because I only had two divisors (7 and 1). I sometimes had to tog out at number 4 so this made me a Square Number which means I am the product of a number multiplied by itself (2 x 2). And when I was able to run really fast I played at number 8 which made me a Composite Number which meant I had factors other than 8 and 1. I also had (4 x 2). Can you list all the prime, composite and square numbers on the field above? What about the subs? You can only use 5 subs in any match but you can tog out 26 players. What position do you play or would you like to play either in school or with your local club. What type of number are you? Now it is thinking time... How many legs have fifteen footballers? How many thumbs have seven camogie players? How many goalposts have 12 pitches? How many pairs of football boots playing at one time during a camogie match? How many legs have the umpires altogether? I might manage a little virtual prize for any one that tries this out. Time to get creative with our themeWe all love our school camogie and football jerseys but why not get creative during school closure and give them a new look. or Design a new crest for our school teams or your local GAA club. I am sad that we didn't get to play any camogie this year girls but we will be back. Keep practicing at home as someday you could be that GAA hero in some young person's life.
