Just a small note...
I hope you are all keeping well and enjoying learning at home!
I know you are all trying your very best to get the work done. However, don't worry about getting it all done. I know that we all have different levels of access to computers/ internet etc. and I know that some of you also have to share with siblings.
Thank you again for trying your very best and I hope to see you all very soon!
Ms. Gallagher :)

WOW WALL
I have been amazed by all of the wonderful work once again that I have received on SeeSaw. It was so difficult to choose what I should put on the Wow Wall as it was all amazing. I have included at least 1 piece of work from everyone that has sent me home learning work on SeeSaw this week and I cannot wait to see the work that I am going to get this from you all this week. If you click on the photos below, it tells you who the work belongs to.
Art wall - Summer landscapes
Handwriting
It has been a while now since we have been able to practice our cursive writing. Unfortunately, we don't have our handwriting books at home for the moment but I could suggest some books/ worksheets for you to keep up your practice. It is ok if you don't have a printer to print these off.. You can still practice in your copies, you will just have to be extra careful about your letter placing and sizing on the lines.
- Letters that touch the top of the line
- Letters that don't go above the middle of the line
- Letters that go below the line

- Letters that go below the line
- Firstly, there is a good template for handwriting on https://www.dadsworksheets.com/worksheets/handwriting-paper.html - use either "Handwriting Paper Numbered"/ "Handwriting Paper"/ "Handwriting Paper Blank Top"/ "Handwriting Paper with Name"
- CJfallon.ie still have free access to all of their books online - this includes a handwriting book called "Go with the Flow E". This includes online interactive resources and the book itself. If you were going to print off pages from this book, I would suggest that you increase the % of scale of the page that you are printing to make the writing on the handwriting page bigger. https://my.cjfallon.ie/dashboard/resources (Select Primary -> 3rd Class -> Handwriting)

Explore the city and read the different pieces of information about what different activities are done in this city to care for the environment, by following this link.
https://www3.epa.gov/recyclecity/se.htm
Afterwards, you can design your own ideal “Recycle City”, what would you include in this city that would be better for our environment?
Would you reduce packaging on your food? Would you increase public transport or provide more cycle lanes? It is all up to you to decide what you would like to include in your city.
Draw and label your city and send it to me on SeeSaw.
You can use ideas from the city that you just explored.

Then, read the story. You can answer the post-reading activities out loud afterwards on pg. 19. Finally, just like your previous readings, on pg. 20, you will find some questions. You can try to complete all of the questions of (A) and (B) but I would like you to do at least (A) q. 1 - 3 and (B) q. 1 - 3 as well as the additional "challenge" question.
Grammar activity: Using the example on pg. 21, try out E which is about changing singular words into their plural form
Poetry activity: Look at page 15 of the Ready to book. Read the poem through and then out loud with your best poem-reading voice. After, draw a picture of the flying machine from the description that is given in the poem.

This competition is all about how you are helping out and communicating with older people in your own lives during this time.
This might be simply calling them for a chat everyday or even leaving their shopping at their door every week. I'm sure you all have so many other amazing examples of how you are helping out at the moment.

B'fhearr liom means "I prefer"
Here is an activity for you to practice using this in Irish. (C lch. 93)
Note: the first example meaning -
"An maith leat an sciorta gorm?" means "Do you like the blue skirt?"
"Is maith liom an sciorta gorm ach b'fhearr liom an sciorta dearg." means "I like the blue skirt but I prefer the red skirt."
The answers to the rest of the questions follow the same sentence pattern as the example.

Here are a list of colours to help you answer:
bándearg buí dearg bán (white) corcra gorm dubh
Can you think of any other sentences that you could write. You could even use it to write about food or sports.
Mar shampla: (e.g.)
Is maith liom a bheith ag snámh ach b'fhearr liom a bheith ag imirt peil.
Is maith liom píotsa ach b'fhearr liom úll.

Friday, 1st of May
Happy Friday everyone!
We've reached May already and I am so excited to get back to school to see you all! Just like I said at the beginning of April, the beginning of a new month is a great time to set a goal that you want to achieve for that month, so for your "Random Act of Kindness" today, I want you to write out your goal for this month and display it somewhere in your room. Your goal could be wanting to learn a new skill or hobby or improve on an existing skill or hobby with practice. It could also be that you would like to do improve on your school work or you might just choose to make sure that you are kind to everyone, everyday.
May is also the month of Mary, so I will leave a small religion lesson on this for you to complete today.
I have been amazed by all of the work that I have received on SeeSaw again this week and I am so excited to display it on our Wow wall. I would love if you could make sure to send me a piece of work from what I've assigned you in home learning this week, if you haven't already, so that I can display it on this weeks Wow wall.
I hope that you have a lovely and relaxing bank holiday weekend and I will see you back here and on SeeSaw on Tuesday :)

Poetry Day
Today is national poetry day in Ireland and it is a time to celebrate all things that are wonderful about poetry. In our class, you are all amazing poets and I always enjoy reading your poems.
I have a number of activities for you to complete today to celebrate National Poetry Day.
Think about what you know about poetry, what do you need to do to write a poem? Think about some of your favourite poems that you have written.
To begin, I would like you to write an acrostic poem. An acrostic poem is written using a word that means something to you. Then, you use each letter of the word to describe the word that you have chosen. This word could be a hobby that you love, an animal that you love, a kitchen appliance or a colour, anything you want to write about.
Here are some examples:
Read Gabriel Fitzmaurice’s poem, ‘Imagination’,
I magination is the thing that
M akes you magic
A nd
G ives you
I nspiration to make everything
N ew,
A nd
To
I nvent things that are
O nly seen by you, where
N othing is impossible. Imagine!
P owerful
O utstanding
E xciting
T ruthful
R hythmic
Y ay!
I would also like you to write a recipe for happiness in a poem format.
Here is an example of a poem which gives a recipe for Happiness
THE RECIPE FOR HAPPINESS by Grace Wells
The recipe for happiness in our house is to take a cup of flour,
and milk, two eggs, a pinch of salt, and whisk for half an hour.
Then take the creamy mixture to the steaming frying pan, ladle little circles in,
as many as you can.
Watch them all turn gold and brown, then sit down to eat,
sugar and lemon on one side,
pour maple syrup to complete.
Draw cooking pots on paper. Cut them out and line them. Write your ‘recipe’ poem within this pot and decorate it and display.
Lastly, I want you to write a poem about all of the wonderful and amazing things about yourself, you can draw a self-portrait and write this poem on or around your self-portrait.
I can't wait to see your wonderful creations :)
SESE Geography:
You all did fantastic learning about Romulus and Remus, you can find the answers to yesterdays workbook activity below.
This week in geography, we are heading to the continent of South America. Can you find South America on a map of the world and could you list some of the countries that you can see in South America.
Did you find a country called Peru?
Before beginning, I would like you to do some of your own research about Peru. Just as you did for when you were researching about Spain last week, look up an article on "World Book Online" which can be accessed through https://www.scoilnet.ie for free! Scroll down the page a small bit, click on "Enter World Book Online", then, click on "kids" and search "Peru" to learn all about the country.
Next, I am going to provide a piece of reading by Elisa, who is a young girl from Peru. Elisa is going to tell you all about her country.
You can complete the activities along with the piece of reading and your school activity book.
Make sure that you head to the homepage to see the maths problem of the week which you can try out and send your answers to me on SeeSaw :)

Poetry Day
Today is national poetry day in Ireland and it is a time to celebrate all things that are wonderful about poetry. In our class, you are all amazing poets and I always enjoy reading your poems.
I have a number of activities for you to complete today to celebrate National Poetry Day.
Think about what you know about poetry, what do you need to do to write a poem? Think about some of your favourite poems that you have written.
To begin, I would like you to write an acrostic poem. An acrostic poem is written using a word that means something to you. Then, you use each letter of the word to describe the word that you have chosen. This word could be a hobby that you love, an animal that you love, a kitchen appliance or a colour, anything you want to write about.
Here are some examples:
Read Gabriel Fitzmaurice’s poem, ‘Imagination’,
I magination is the thing that
M akes you magic
A nd
G ives you
I nspiration to make everything
N ew,
A nd
To
I nvent things that are
O nly seen by you, where
N othing is impossible. Imagine!
P owerful
O utstanding
E xciting
T ruthful
R hythmic
Y ay!
I would also like you to write a recipe for happiness in a poem format.
Here is an example of a poem which gives a recipe for Happiness
THE RECIPE FOR HAPPINESS by Grace Wells
The recipe for happiness in our house is to take a cup of flour,
and milk, two eggs, a pinch of salt, and whisk for half an hour.
Then take the creamy mixture to the steaming frying pan, ladle little circles in,
as many as you can.
Watch them all turn gold and brown, then sit down to eat,
sugar and lemon on one side,
pour maple syrup to complete.
Draw cooking pots on paper. Cut them out and line them. Write your ‘recipe’ poem within this pot and decorate it and display.
Lastly, I want you to write a poem about all of the wonderful and amazing things about yourself, you can draw a self-portrait and write this poem on or around your self-portrait.
I can't wait to see your wonderful creations :)

In SESE yesterday, we learned all about Pablo Picasso. Picasso was a very famous Spanish artist who worked mainly with abstract art. You might have even heard about him before yesterday's lesson as he is one of the most well-known artists that have ever lived.
Abstract art doesn't look like the usual art that we are used to seeing.
For today's art lesson, you are going to draw like Pablo Picasso so get ready to put your artist hats on.
Firstly, look at the slideshow to learn a little more about Picasso.
Next, get your pencils and colours ready along with a piece of paper.
Then, watch the following video to see how you will be able to draw your own Picasso drawing! Pause the video throughout so that you can take your time and work at your own pace :) In the video it will mention a printed sheet, but you don't need to print anything as you will also be able to view this page in the video.

SESE Geography: Spain
This week, we will be learning about the country Spain! Spain is another country on the continent of Europe, just like Ireland. Unlike Ireland, Spain is not an island and it is surrounded by some other countries. Could you try and find Spain on a map of the world and name the other countries that surround it.
Look up an article on "World Book Online" which can be accessed through https://www.scoilnet.ie for free! Scroll down the page a small bit, click on "Enter World Book Online", then, click on "kids" and search "Spain" to learn all about the country.
- Find out the capital city of Spain
- Draw and colour the Spanish flag
- Write down 10 interesting facts that you can find about the country.
*Note, if you found it difficult to access worldbookonline, with the help and guidance of an adult, use "kiddle" which is a child-friendly search engine, to search for "Spain". Make sure that an adult quickly glances over the website to ensure that it is suitable for the task that I am asking you to complete :)
