Weaving Well-Being is an Irish designed positive mental health programme which aims to enhance well-being in children aged from 8-12 years within the framework of the SPHE curriculum. One of the authors, Fiona Forman, has just released a FREE downloadable well-being journal for children. I think that a lot of students will enjoy it!
Here is the link: https://indd.adobe.com/view/5237deef-2311-469f-9e2d-b5ee89c2000f Hi Parents, This activity will benefit all children who find it difficult to memorise classwork or who may forget what they have learned after a period of time. (for example, spellings from a few weeks ago etc) You can use the attached file to continue helping memory skills to improve. This sheet can be used in many ways: - call them out and ask your child to repeat - call them out and ask your child to write them - allow them to be read and then recalled orally or through writing - ask your child to recall them 30mins later and again the following day Experiment with different methods of memorisation (we often make up a story using the object list and I would encourage the students to really visualise and picture the object) You can add lists together to make it more of a challenge.
Why not use the above photographs that I took this morning as inspiration for your writing. You can pause the slideshow if you want to have a closer look. Here are some nouns that are taken from the pictures:
horse, gate, field, tree, branch, bud, hawthorn, sheep, fence, primrose, daffodil, moss, ivy, cow, calves. Write some sentences about each photograph and add some adjectives to the nouns I have listed above. See if you can stretch those sentences even further. You will remember doing some of this with me in our groups if you are a 4th class student, but anyone can try it! EXAMPLE: horse white horse The white horse stood by the gate. The white horse stood tall by the rusty gate. |
