Hello,
I heard that some people had problems accessing the school books on folensonline. Its very simple to set up, I've outlined the steps below. Hope this helps, if you are still having problems make sure to email me.
Ms. Lee Hello Girls,
I hope you are all well and enjoying the glorious sunshine! Please get plenty of fresh air and exercise and lots of reading in the garden of course. Again, don't feel any pressure to get all the work done, just get as much as you can done. The most important thing now is that you stay safe and happy! If you need me you can contact me on my work email: [email protected]. Also for any children who go to Ms. Heaslip’s room, you can have a look at her blog for some activities. Find the ones that are linked to the work that you usually do with her. Next Monday is a bank holiday, so I won't be uploading work for you until Monday night so enjoy your 3 day weekend! English: This week we are focusing on a poem. The poem is called Oh, How I’d Like to Travel by Jodi Right Please read the poem below and over the week do the following activities based on the poem.
Oh, How I’d Like to Travel- Jodi Right I lie awake each night Staring at the ceiling Following each crack Finding new routes Oh, how I’d like to travel Somewhere new, Somewhere old, Somewhere where the people; Sing merrily Dance happily Oh, how I’d like to travel On a plane, On a boat, On something that will get me there; Fast, like a soaring bird Safely, like a locked room Oh, how I’d like to travel To see the sunset of a new horizon To smell the sweet smells of newness Like the delicious croissants; Of France Like the finest chocolates Of Belgium Like the mouth watering tomatoes Of Spain To taste each one would full A delicacy unknown to my taste buds. Oh, how I’d like to travel Could be anywhere It doesn’t have to be far Because like every crack It can be long route or, It can be short route Gaeilge: You will need to use your book to do these activities so register on folensonline.ie if you haven’t already done so. Irish will be tricky without the help of your teacher so just give it your best shot please, you can do it! We are still on the topic of weather
Chuaigh mé- I went Ní dheachaigh mé- I didn’t go Maths: Problem solving. Maths is all around us, this week I want you to use your maths eyes and try to spot maths we use all the time in everyday life, time, measuring, simple addition, subtraction, etc. I know that maths this week must be might be tricky for you without the help of Mrs. Heaslip and I but give it your best try and do as much as you can. If someone at home can help you that’s super but don’t put pressure on anyone at home to help you if they are busy. Try to keep revising your times tables too!
3. Travel: p164 A and B. Again, drawing pictures will help you. A round trip means to your destination and back home. (Hint! There will be lots of division(sharing equally) problems 4. Area- p164 C. Perimeter- the outside of a shape. 5. Barbecue fractions: p164. As we had lots of sunny weather some of you may have had a barbecue, like I said maths is found everywhere! These problems use fractions, draw out the fractions when working them out. History: story We are discussing the stories from lives of people in the past. As you are probably aware you are now living through a significant historical event which I am sure you will tell people about in the future. It is important that we know about our family’s history also and the stories they can tell us. If you’re parents grew up in another country and not Ireland it is very interesting to hear about their childhood and culture. Please ask an adult (parent, grandparent, Aunt, uncle) to tell you about their favourite or most important childhood memory. Make sure you ask them lots of questions throughout. Please do the following activities based on the story
Of course, I'd love to see you're work so make sure to email me! Stay Safe, Be Happy, Ms. Lee Hello Girls,
Hope you all had a lovely Easter and didn’t eat too much chocolate like I did! (See the picture of all my chocolate eggs below) Hope you are all well and remembering to wash your hands, sneeze into your elbow and social distance as best you can. I have gone through 3 big tubes of hand cream as my hands have been so dry from all the handwashing! Anyway, as we are unsure as to when schools will be reopening I have decided that it is best that we move on to our new topics in different subjects. This is your work to do over the whole week so try to do a bit from each section each day. I also know that you may not get all the work done over the week and that’s alright. I am aware that it may be difficult for you to get all your school work done at this strange time so don’t worry just get as much as you can done. The most important thing now is that you stay safe and happy. You will need some books that our on our book rental scheme so you must access it online. To access our maths book Planet Maths 4 book and our Irish book Abair Liom 4 google folensonline.ie. This will also gain you access to. Don’t worry it is very easy to do and will take less than 5 minutes. Also there are answer sheets that can be used to check your answers once you are finished.

Spellwell: Do the next week's activities and practice a box of spellings each night. Ask someone to test you on Friday if they can, but don't worry if that's not possible. *If you only learn 10 spellings a week, choose the spellings you use the most in your writing.

Geography- Rocks and Soil. Go into your garden and find as many soil samples (sand, clay, pebbles, etc) as possible. Use this twinkl activity sheet to investigate the different soil samples. You will be using senses to compare and contrast the samples. https://content.twinkl.co.uk/resource/50/14/au-t2-s-1480-soil-senses-activity-sheet-english_ver_1.pdf?__token__=exp=1585581345~acl=%2Fresource%2F50%2F14%2Fau-t2-s-1480-soil-senses-activity-sheet-english_ver_1.pdf%2A~hmac=196a22204afce17bfa1a1e0280e6d3bbec5fc2ac83dbcf6660ff5f42ae01ece9 Read: follow the link to read about different soil types.

Try to do some of your work on your own as I am aware adults at home may be very busy. The weather is to be nice this week so please make sure to go out and get lots of exercise or read a book in the garden as I like to do. Stay safe and happy! Ms. Lee Some girls made the most of their Easter holiday keeping themselves busy with plenty of baking, arts and crafts and exercise. I enjoyed reading lots of books and running over the Easter. Thank you to the girls who sent in pictures, I made a little slideshow with the pictures sent in. Enjoy! Happy Easter girls. I hope you get plenty of chocolate and have lots of fun over the Easter break. I can’t wait to eat far more chocolate than I should. I love chocolate! :)
Here are some nice activities you can do at home to keep yourself busy, its so important that you keep yourself busy! If you do any of these activities feel free to email pictures of them to me. I know that we are not in school at the moment so its a great time for you to explore your other talents. I am planning to make a slideshow on our class blog so we can see what each other have been getting up to. I have been keeping busy by doing lots of baking and cooking for my family and doing plenty of exercise. I popped some pictures down below, so take a look!
