Hello Everyone in 5^th class,

We hope you are all keeping safe and well and are busy working on the blog while also getting plenty of fresh air and exercise.
Thank you to everyone who got in contact with us again last week. We really enjoyed reading all of your emails, hearing your news and viewing some of your fabulous work. You will find some of the excellent work the boys and girls in 5^th class have completed so far on ‘Our Amazing Gallery’ page which is now located on the menu at the left side of the blog page. You will also see tabs for previous blog pages there if you wish to look back through them.
Two new additions to the blog this week are the ‘Challenge Yourself’ page and the ‘Relax, Unwind and Read’ page. Both are located at the bottom of the menu on the left. Keep an eye on these pages for exciting activities and updates that are sure to keep you busy.

We would really like it if you could stay in contact with us by sending us an email at least once a week. Again, it can be to say a quick ‘hello’, to share some of your news or to show us some of your lovely work. So keep those emails coming in to us at: 5thclassteachers@virginians.ie If you would like to see your work uploaded on the blog don’t forget to send parental permission.

Below you will see this week’s blog where we have uploaded some new activities for you to work on throughout the week.
Again, everything does not need to be completed, just try your best.

We have added some lovely mindfulness activities to the bottom of this week’s blog which you may like to try. We would also love it if you could click on the following link to fill out this short questionnaire based on the things you like. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfHoRGXNFaIO43cl_T83r-EDWg42FF56za1I5U4yP4_fvjhWA/viewform

We look forward to hearing from you all this week.
Stay safe,
Ms. Brady and Ms. O’Reilly

• Read the following comprehension from your Reading Zone called ‘Go Bananas!’ and answer any 2 sections from A- G.

• As you can see it gives you the recipe for banana pancakes which you may like to try out at home. This is linked to this week’s Maths where we are learning about weight so make sure you measure out the ingredients correctly.

This week in Maths we are going to focus on weight.

You will find attached some activities to complete based on weight. Then if you are feeling creative we have attached recipes for play-dough and queen cakes that you might like to try out. Don’t forget the banana pancakes recipe in the English section too! Remember to measure out the ingredients carefully and adult supervision is required when using utensils and the oven. We would love to see pictures of your finished creations!
