Here is a booklet that might be of use to parents in creating a daily plan / schedule for your child during this school closure.It is available on the website https://www.education.ie/en/The-Department/Announcements/guide-for-parents-supporting-children.pdf
Monday 27th April:
Good Morning everyone. I hope you all had a nice weekend. Here below I have listed some activities you may like to work on this week.
There is no obligation to complete all or any of these activities as I am aware you have other classwork activities from your class teacher too. I am also very conscious that your homes are very busy places at the moment and not everyone has someone to help them out and not everyone has access to laptops/ipads and the internet. Feel free to give these a go if you like.
I have also set up an email account for this period of Covid-closure should your parents need to contact me or wish to send me samples of your work. Your parents can email me at:
mrsmonaghan2020@gmail.com
Literacy / English:
I will continue to ask you to read every day. 1st and 2nd Class can aim to read for about 10-15 minutes per day. 3rd and 5th Class you can aim to read for about 15 - 25 minutes per day. You can use your own books at home or read from some of the websites I have mentioned before. You may like to try other reading websites you see on the school website or any other appropriate reading websites you enjoy using yourself.
I use this website a lot and I have set up access for you to use it too.
Click on this link https://www.getepic.com/students
Open in the students section.
Your log in class code is hcd9374
Select your name from the list and start reading. There are lots of books to choose from and even some audio books to listen to.
I have also set up a write reader activity for you all to try. It is an activity where you get to write your own books. It is good fun. You can add a title to each page, a picture and write some text. Be as creative as you like.
This week I would like you to play around with this website and write a little book called "All about me." You can include your name, age, description, family, friends, favourite hobbies, foods, colours, pets etc. Add as much detail and as many pictures as you like. It's just for fun and there is no pressure on anyone to do this task.
To log on you click on this link https://www.writereader.com/en.
Then click on get started icon.
Choose the students log in section. Your username is your name e.g. Anne or James. Your class code is ebmv
Have some fun with this. Make as many books as you like. I will give you new titles to try next week.
Maths / Numeracy:
I will continue you to practice your numbers 1 - 20 (1st Class), numbers 1 - 100 (2nd Class), your tables (2nd Class and 5th Class).
I will ask you to focus on the topic of time this week. Use your Planet Maths and revise over the first chapter on Time.
Log on to the folens website for your class for some online activities https://www.folensonline.ie/planet-maths
To use Folens books online - fill in a username, email and password, for the roll number use code: Prim20
Try reading the time at home on both the analogue clocks and digital clocks (computer, oven, microwave etc.). Start first getting used to the hour, then half hour, quarter-past and then quarter to. When you are ready 5th Class then you can practice 5 minute intervals and finally one minute intervals.
Then you may also like to play some time based games online to help you practice what you have learned.
Here are some useful websites for time games:
https://www.splashlearn.com/time-games
https://www.arcademics.com/games
https://www.adaptedmind.com/
https://ie.mathgames.com/
There is no pressure on anyone to do all or any of this work. Feel free to try some of the activities if you have the time and maybe somebody at home to help you out. Remember to use the internet safely and always with the help of an adult. These websites are just a guide but if you wish to choose other websites do so carefully and again with the help of an adult.
Best of luck everyone. Don't forget to also enjoy some exercise, some playtime outside and some rest and relaxation too. Healthy minds and healthy bodies! Stay Safe.
Mrs. Monaghan
