Listen to this familiar song by one of the most famous grups of all times (who were they again?)

Final Word:
Get out as much as you can and walk, run, hop, cycle, hula - hoop, throw a ball around, play hop scotch, make up new yard games, be creative but GET OUTSIDE! I think God decided to bless us with good weather so that we can see how beautiful everything is!

Hello Mulan and Olaf!

It's a Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Friday!
Get singing everyone!

Hi Girls,

Well, can you say the word from 'Mary Poppins'? I've just been singing it at the top of my voice around my kitchen!

6TH CLASS - BEFORE YOU READ ON, PLEASE GO TO MS. HIGGIN'S CLASS BLOG AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HER PADLET TODAY. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. YOU WILL BE JOINING THAT BLOG FOR ALL OF NEXT WEEK FOR A TRANSITION THEMED WEEK! I WILL BE WORKING WITH MS. HIGGINS FOR THIS SO I WILL BE INVOLVED IN WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING DURING THE WEEK ALSO!

'I Simply Remember My Favourite Things and Then I Don't Feel So Bad'

Happy Thursday Girls,

This clip from 'The Sound of Music' brings back lovely memories for me. This movie was on T.V. every Christmas and I always liked to watch it because of the music and the charachters and the fact that it was based on real life. If you are interested in WWII, the back story of the Von Trapp family will interest you!

In other news - Herman is gone on a sleep over to Megan's house. I thought he looked a little bit lonely so he has gone in to spend time with the bearded dragon and gheko!

The one movie I am definitely going to watch this summer is Moana. She got a few mentions on today's padlet and I like the sound of her character - Thanks for adding to the padlet everyday girls - I love hearing what you have to say. You are all my teachers with your ideas/thoughts/suggestions ....

Today's Padlet is : These are a few of my favourite things

It's Wonderful Wednesday!
'Just Keep Swimming .......'

Hi Girls,

Please watch the 'Nemo'clip - it's really good and if you haven't watched the movie, I would recommend it!

I hope everyone is still keeping a bit of a routine going!

I liked the comments on 'The Wizard of Oz' padlet and I hope you all realise that you have the power within yourselves to 'grow your own confidence', to 'push yourselves out of your comfort zones', to 'shine as individuals' and to 'realise that if you are afraid of losing someone close to you that you can work on those thoughts and believe that no matter what life throws at you - you will be able to deal with it!

Our work for today is as follows:

Send on work to
geraldinegaffey@stphilomenasns.com

Maths - 5th Class - Length (Renaming activities - Do exercies on slides)

6th Class - Length (Do activities on slide 2)

Good morning Girls,

I love this clip from the Wizard of Oz girls! Eventhough this movie is over 80 years old - this clip is still very relevant today! The Lion is looking for the gift of Courage from the Wizard but like all of us at times, he is looking in the wrong place. The Lion is already courageous but doesn't realise it. Remember what I said in class about courage - it is not the man or woman who climbs Mount Everest or Jumps out of Planes that is most couragous - these people are generally not scared by the prospects of scaling great heights!

Rather, it is those people who feel afraid in their daily lives but choose to face their fears - they are courageous!

Be Courageous Girls - it might be reading in class, starting a new school, joining a new group - If you start facing these experiences with a little courage - you will soon realise that you have it in you to create a more confident you and a world full of new experiences!

Love,

Mrs. G.x

Have a look at our Thme Park Designs !

May 18th, 2020
It's School Tour Day
'Tour at Home' Day
We've Got This!

It's the 18th May - the day we had picked to go to Tayto Park because we said it would be nice and quiet there but little did we think when we were booking it that it would be closed and we would not be in school.

My quote of the day reminds me of US though - I think we have grown as a group in spite of what is happening in our world around us - we are becoming stronger and more independent all of the tme!

We are on tour today
so NO SCHOOL WORK

I have a few nice activities for us to do to create some memories!

Activity 1: I have uploaded the 10 fastest roller coasters in the world so 'Belt Up' and Enjoy! Where do you think the fastest roller coaster in the world is located? I thought the answer would be USA but I was wrong?

Activity 2: I have given out paper in your tour bags so that you can design your own theme park or roller caoster!

Activity 3: Send a pic on today's padlet with your 'Tour Bag'.
Go into text box on padlet and click on the tree little dots
which will give you the option of a camera to take your pic!

I really hope you all have a nice Tour Day Monday girls - I couldn't come up with any other ways to mark it for you all but I am thinking of you all today!

Love,
Mrs. G.x, Buddy, Herman and Lady xxxxxx

May 15th - Friday Art Works! Super Drawing!

Who has got that Friday feeling?

I know I do! I can't wait to put away my laptop and get out into the sunshine. The birds seem to be louder this year in my back garden - nature is definitely loving this worldwide lockdown!

You have been doing great work girls so it is going to be a nice easy day today and it will be a nice day on Monday also!

Firstly, can we take a minute to look at the picture of Holly D's news of the week! Holly's uncle owns a Connemara pony and she just had a foal - this is a fab picture! All I know is - if I was anywhere near this gorgeous pair - I would give them the biggest hug!

Secondly, I have put up a selection of our drawings from a few weeks ago - I love them! I have chosen a summer themed drawing class from Art hub today and I am dying to see how they turn out!

The padlet for today is a positivity padlet! Have a read of mine before you add to it! I got a pic of my favourite quote online and saved it to a file and uploaded it to padlet. If you can manage that - great but if not - just type in your piece of positivity for this fantastic Friday!

Also, Maths/plurals answers for yesterday are below so get out your red pen and go through your work!

Love,

Hi Girls,

It's Sunday Evening here in the Gaffey household and we finally went through with it and did the Blinding Lights challenge for you.......
As you all must know by now - I have two left feet and my coordination isn't great so this was a challenge. My feet just wouldn't do what I wanted them to do!
Bekah took the video and laughed the whole way through it!!!!

We had such a laugh trying to get it done though and thankfully, we don't mind being completely silly once it's all in good fun!

Thanks for the challenge Morgan!

May 8th, 2020

Morgan Kane has just gone and challenged me! I was waiting for someone to do it first! Well Done Morgan - Keep an eye out over the weekend - I'll just have to go and do it now!

Class Debate

A debate is based around a suggestion or motion.

The motion I am presenting for debate this week is:

  Should Children have to do schoolwork at home during Lockdown?

When debating - you are either FOR or AGAINST the motion. In other words, you either agree or disagree!.

Firstly, I want you to decide whether you agree or disagree with the motion by thinking about the following:

(Yes - Chilren should have to do school work at home during Lockdown)

OR

(NO - children should not have to do school work during Lockdown)

When you have decided, write down your reasons and then click on the link below which will take you to PADLET (like an online class topics board).

When you get onto our class PADLET, Double click on the pink circle at the bottom right hand corner. This will bring up a text box where you can write out your arguments. There is a 'bin' icon at the top of the box if you want to delete the box and start again so don't worry!

There is also an option to record your argument by clicking on the three lttle dots at the bottom of the text box.

I don't mind which option you choose as  long as you aargue the motion respectfully!

Have fun - I know already there are future politicians in the class so I can't wait to see the arguments put forward!

Hi Girls,

Welcome to Wednesday,

It is so good to know that girls are getting work done at home and I am so happy to be receiving it. I am still trying to get into a routine with this Distance Learning so I can only imagine the difficulties you all must be having at different times. As I keep saing though, Do Your Best!

We have a good start made on the Class Poem so I will post what was added today and look forward to more additions!

'Not Everything Is Cancelled’
By All of Us
Loving my dogs is not cancelled
Having Fun is not cancelled
Loving my family is not cancelled
Doing TikToks with my sister is not cancelled
Practicing Sports is not cancelled
Sunshine is not cancelled
Face-timing my friends is not cancelled ......

_____________________________________________________________

I hope you are managing to listen to the mindfulness practice every morning before you start your work. I spent a bit of time trying to record that for you and it is a very good short practice for de-stressing so if you haven't tried it yet - Try it and Enjoy it!

Once again, look at the timetable first thing every day - the activity for each subject will change each day on the timetable so make sure you look there first!

Then go the file for each subject and do the activity as outlined on the timetable!

When you have finished your work, take a pic and send t on to me as an attachment to the above email address and I will look over it for corrections.

If you have any difficulties, get in touch with me - that's what I'm here for -and I will help you to the best of my ability!

Above all else, stay safe!

Love from

Mrs. Gaffey, Lady, Buddy and Herman

Happy Tuesday Girls,

It’s Day 2 of Term 3 and we are up and running. I am so happy to be back into a routine of some school work, exercise and mindfulness and I hope you are all getting back into some sort of routine also.
I want to say ‘Well Done’ to the girls who sent on work to be corrected – keep it up! I would encourage all of you to send on some work girls – this allows me to see how everyone is doing.
Before you even start today’s work, I want to ask you to write a poem with me. The poem is called ‘Not Everything Is Cancelled’ and I am going to write the first line. I want you to write your line and send it on to me! I will keep adding the lines until we have our class poem!

'Not Everything Is Cancelled’
By All of Us
Loving my dogs is not cancelled

Hi Girls,
We are going to have a great week learning together. This is such a great opportunity for you all to become independent learners and goal setters.

I am going to outline our goals this week to keep us on task and I hope that you are going to do your very best at achieving these goals at your own level.
Remember what I say in class, we all work at different levels so we are going to remember that and do our own very best.

I know this is difficult for you all girls but we are going to keep working together to get each other through it. We are a TEAM!

I have a timetable below which you can use to help you keep a structure on your work but this is only a suggested timetable. It is more important to find out what routine works best in your house and work with that.

Please do your best with work but don’t worry if you don’t get to all of it. Take a pic of completed work and send it on to me as an attachment to my email address:
geraldinegaffey@stphilomenasns.com

Read through your timetable first and organise yourself! Your activity for each subject is on the timetable so read it carefully!

See attached files for the work (content) for each subject!!

In the powerpoint files, click ‘start slideshow’ at the top and in the bar underneath that, click on ‘from beginning’. To go from one slide to the next, press enter and to come out of a slide, press ESC!
