Good morning everyone,

Only 2 and a half days left!! Summer holidays are winging their way to you. I would like to say a big WELL DONE to everyone who worked so hard online. I'm so proud of you all! I saw huge improvements in your work and in your posts and videos over the last three months. It was lovely to see you gaining confidence in your oral answers and  videos .  You made me smile every day ! I hope you all enjoyed it too. I have my last menu of work for you so pick and choose what you want to do ! Here we go; 

MONDAY 22/06/2020.

Write down your five favourite things/activities we did online.

Find out the capital cities of these countries. Use your atlas to help you.1 Ireland, 2 England, 3 Scotland, 4 Wales, 5 France 6 Spain,        7Portugal,  8 Italy, 9 Netherlands, 10 Germany.      

This week is Cork Walking Week so go for a walk with your family. The day should brighten up so check the weather forecast on a phone and plan it.

Play a game of "Fish in the Pond" This is a game of concentration. Get a deck of cards and place them all on the table picture facing down. Take turns picking up two cards if they match keep them. If you get a match you get to pick up another two. Watch the cards the other players are picking up as you might need them ! When all the cards are matched, count your pairs. The person with the most pairs is the winner.  Have fun!! 

Tidy out your schoolbag, sort out your pencil case , throw away any markers that don't work. Pare any coloured pencils. Ask your Mom or Dad to wash your schoolbag it is probably perfect for next year. If you have copies with only a little work in them keep them for next year we'll continue on. I have nearly all your dictionaries,  Religion hardbacks, Poetry and Songs copies, art folders, etc in school . I've given some to Mrs O'Sullivan and we will give them to you in September.  

TUESDAY 23/06/2020.

Write down 5 things you loved doing in school this year. 

More Capital cities! Find the capital city of 1 Norway, 2 Sweeden,  3 Denmark,  4 Austria,  5 Greece,  6 Turkey,  7 Poland,   8 Belgium,        9 Japan, 10 Australia. 

Did you watch Home -School Hub? Ryan Tubridy did a whole show on the radio thanking the three teachers  on Friday and it seemed it was very popular with children. You might let me know if you enjoyed it . 

Go for a walk in the locality , wear a Hi-vis if you have one .

Pick a bouquet of wild flowers, send me a picture! 

Make a Daisy chain. 

Go for a run! 

WEDNESDAY 24/06/2020.

Goodbye for now , and stay safe over the holidays as you're all so precious.

Mrs Twomey. 

MONDAY 15/06/20.

MATHS ; Mental Maths 3/4 Week 35 Monday + daily problems .

ENGLISH; Look at Seesaw and the story "Nora's Arc" You will be making predictions  along the way. You can read the story by turning down the sound . It's based in America many years ago . This reminds   me of a flood that happened here in Ireland over 20 years ago. It was in August and there was very heavy rain , so much rain that the Glen River burst its banks . One of our neighbours had cattle in the field beside the river , when the field started flooding they moved to a little hill . However the river kept rising and the cattle were surrounded by water. Eighteen cattle were washed down stream. None of them survived.  When we've been reading our stories in Word Wizard we often talk about making connections . Does this story remind you of any other story ? Hint The Bible .  

WRITE ON ; Do a page or two of your best writing!

SCIENCE; Look at Seesaw for A virtual Field Trip to San Diego Zoo. Where is San Diego? There's lots to look at and learn on this activity so take your time and look at one or two animals/ videos and work your way through it during the week.
