3rd Class

Welcome to 3rd Class

Welcome to 3rd Class. We are a group of 21 hardworking girls. Our teacher this year is Ms. Gallagher. We are also very lucky to have Michelle, our SNA.

World Book Day 2020

We had great fun dressing up as our favourite book characters on World Book Day. We did some buddy reading too with Junior Infants.

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 :)

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

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)

I will update this list as I come across good resources :)

Writing Activities

Make sure you title and date each piece of work that you do :)
