Tuesday 9th of June
Good morning girls, here is your Tuesday work 😊
Spelling Workbook: postage, drainage, hardship
Qu 4 and 5
Qu 4 suffixes are a.) al b.) ish c.) age d.) ship
As one of your spelling suffixes is -ISH, listen to the story of ‘The Dot’ on Youtube about a boy who discovered his art was very ‘-ish’. It is a lovely story all about believing in your work and your own ability.
When you are finished take a piece of paper and some colours. Watch the second video for inspiration for some dot pictures. You only need to watch until about 1 min 30.
Draw one/or more dots, any size and then decide what you want to turn them into! Enjoy!
I would love to see your creations on Seesaw!

Thursday 4th of June
Good morning! Here is your Thursday work! I think this week has flown by! Keep sending in all your super work to Seesaw, I love seeing it.
Tomorrow you will have a theme day – all work will be based on a fun theme each Friday until your summer holidays 😊
I have added an idea on Seesaw for your lovely new scrapbook you all received. I will upload ideas for nice things to put in your scrapbook each week. One day you will be able to look back on it and think about that time in 2020 when you worked from home and created so many creative pieces.
Spelling Workbook: personal, abolish, astonish and nourish.
Abolish – to get rid of completely e.g. I abolished all rules about wearing a uniform!
Nourish – provide with food or other substances to help with growth, health, and good condition. E.g. I did everything I could to nourish the plant back to life
Put today’s words into sentences.
Qu 3 Across or Down
Reading: Read these pages from The Butterfly Lion about Bertie’s plan for bringing his White Lion home.
Write the news report with the title “The British Lion Comes Home!”
Remember our news report tips:
Headline and byline
First line/paragraph must include all your information in one sentence. The reader must know what has happened the second they read it. You can add more details after this. E.g. Yesterday at 3.00pm Ms. Hogan was shocked to discover that she had lost her keys while going for a walk in the park! (fictional, don’t worry! 😂)
Body of the text – add details. Talk about Millie helping him, Monsieur Merlot. Where they will go with the lion, how long has Bertie known the lion etc.
Finish up with a nice ending and include a quote from someone about the good news!
Gaeilge: I have uploaded a nice poem to Seesaw about going on holidays. You can listen to me reading and translating it.
Write your favourite verse in your copy with pictures to decorate it.

Here’s a short one that I thought of.
Here comes June,
Did we think it would arrive so soon?
I listen to the birds outside
As they sing their happy tune
I lick the ice cream off my spoon.
Look at the clock,
It’s not yet noon.
Too early for ice cream?
Not in June!

I loved your predictions about Bertie and the Frenchman! Here is what happened next.
Bertie and Millie got directions to Monsieur Merlot’s house. Bertie had to walk because the wheelchair would not go up the rocky road. All around the Frenchman’s house had been bombed and was destroyed. It was very quiet in the area. Half of the house had holes in it from firing.
Bertie and Millie entered quietly, the door was open.

Monday 23th of May
Happy Monday! Hopefully we will have another lovely week of good weather 😊 ☀
I hope you are all keeping well and are helping out at home and being kind!
Here is your Monday work:
Spelling Workbook: macaroni to close *All these words end in i, except quay which ends in ‘ay’ and sounds like ‘key’, and frighten and close
Ask a family member to give you a pretest – remember you are not supposed to know these, it is just to help you with the week ahead.
Qu 5 - hidden words :) my favourite!
Please put your new words into a word cloud, practising writing them out will help put them in your memory.
https://wordart.com/create
If you cannot get the word cloud working, draw a cloud in your copy and write out the words in different colours
Reading: Read the poem below about a Recipe for Summer.
Use TILT to show your understanding of it. It has some lovely images in it. Write it in your copy or record yourself on Seesaw discussing it
T – what is the theme? (What is it about?)
I – Images – what images stood out to you?
L – Language – does the poet use easy to read language? Does he use big descriptions/fancy words/rhyming?
T – Tone – what is the feeling of the poem?
Now use the template at the bottom of the page to write your own recipe for Summer! Think about all your favourite things about summer and what makes it so great!
Handwriting: Please complete one page of your handwriting book 👍

Friday 22nd of May
Happy Friday! I hope you have all had a lovely week and enjoyed the great sunshine we have had! 😊 I have loved seeing all your work up on Seesaw. You are all working so hard from home, I am so proud of all of you!
Have a relaxing weekend, keep being kind and we will chat on Monday 😊

Here is your Friday work:
Spelling Workbook:
Qu 4 Plurals
**Important to remember that if the word ends in ‘y’ then you change it to ‘ies’ when making it plural e.g. mystery – mysteries
If it just ends in ‘ay’, ‘ey’ or ‘i’ then you add an ‘s’ e.g. taxis 👍
Ask a family member to give you your check up today. Remember, all of this week’s word either end in ‘y’ or ‘ey’.
This might be silly but if you want a way to remember which words are ‘ey’ make up a funny picture in your head. I would think of a monkey on a journey with honey and money in his trolley. That’s all the words with ‘ey’!
Best of luck!
Read at Home: Can you believe this is our last Read at Home of the year?! We’ve finished the book 🎉🎉🎉
Your last one is pg 120 A letter to a friend. Qu 1-5 full sentences
When you are finished, look back on your Read at Home pages. See which ones you remember and which ones you enjoyed.
Write a Read at Home review for your favourite one!
I know we enjoyed lots of them, they inspired us to have good discussions in class and we often did some googling after reading to find out more about a topic. Every time we read one, there was always one or two girls who could make connections with it!
I know I enjoyed the First Man on the Moon piece, we looked up interesting space videos after that. The Book of Kells was another very good one.
We looked up more information on the Yeti from pg 36! We all had different opinions on that one!
I also think we won’t forget about the ‘elephant in the room’ from pg 13! 😊
WALT
Mental Maths: Friday Review and upload to Seesaw
Fruit Frenzy: https://www.sheppardsoftware.com/mathgames/multiple/multiple_frenzy.htm

Art: I have sent you a tutorial on drawing an eye. I know a lot of you enjoy drawing eyes so I thought you might enjoy this! We had planned to do it in class but never got around to it!
Watch the video and give it a go yourself! Some of you will be experts on eyes already but you might pick up a new tip to help you still!
Upload your picture to Seesaw when you are finished. ‘Eye’ can’t wait to see them! 😅

The Butterfly Lion:
Millie’s search for Bertie. Millie worked as a nurse hoping to find Bertie in a hospital somewhere. She was reading the paper and she read a headline about how Bertie had saved his two friends. She rushed to the hospital.
They were finally reunited 😊
Millie is allowed to take Bertie out in a wheelchair every Sunday. They wander around the village each week and catch up with each other. Bertie told Millie that he didn’t write to her because he was afraid that each day would be his last day. A lot of his friends had died in the war and he thought that it was better if Millie just forgot about him, in case he died too.
Suddenly they spotted an old poster on the wall by a café. Read below what happened next!!

The cafe owner told Millie and Bertie what happened to the circus. Monsieur Merlot the Frenchman ,had to close it down because it lost too much business. Soldiers didn't want to go and see animals performing or acrobatics. Monsieur Merlot tried to keep all the animals in his own house but he had no money and his house was also attacked. Read on below.
Write the conversation that will take place between the old French man and Bertie when they meet. Will the Frenchman remember Bertie?
Will Bertie persuade him to give the White Prince back?
Will the lion still be alive?
Will there be a disagreement between them?
Mental Maths: Thursday and PS **Qu 5 is a perimeter question – draw the rectangle out and put the measurements on all 4 sides before you add them
http://toytheater.com/area-perimeter-explorer/ Use this block builder game to make shapes. When you put blocks with the same colour together it will show you the perimeter of the shape on the top. It will also tell you the area.
The perimeter is the length around the sides of a shape.
The area is the measurement of how much surface the shape has/how much it takes to cover the whole shape. It is always measured in squares.
Play around with the other features in this game, you can create patterns with the tangrams and shapes with the geoboards!
Science: It was World Bee Day yesterday! We had been learning about bees last week. I have put up a Bee unscrambling task on Seesaw for you to complete! I will also post it below if you want to write it in your copy 🐝

Good morning girls 😊 I hope you are all having a lovely week!
Here is your Wednesday work:
Spelling Workbook: cavity, monkey, honey
Qu 3 Across or Down
Choose two tricky words and explode them on your copy page. Remember we did this in class. If the word was hot, you would make it look red and hot! If it was water, it would look blue and have drips coming out of it.
Here are the words I think would be fun to explode: honey, monkey, robbery, money, spaghetti
Read at Home pg 118 Chocolate – Yum! Qu 1-5
Watch this video about how chocolate is made and the importance of giving cocoa farmers the right payment for their work – this is called Fair Trade. Maybe you have heard of it before.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XbP4cn8xhU
Most cocoa farmers only get paid about €1.50 a day!
After watching this video, write a persuasive letter to a supermarket of your choice explain why they should sell more Fair Trade chocolate in their shops.
Include:
Greeting/why you are writing
Information about cocoa farmers and their families
Give examples of how fair trade helps not only their wages but their lives (e.g. schools, community building, giving women more support and wages)
Closing/explain what you would like one more time in another way.

Good morning girls! 😊 Happy Monday! I hope you had a lovely weekend and are ready for a new week. I can’t wait to see all your great work on Seesaw again.
Miss you all,
Ms Hogan
Here is your Monday work
Spelling Workbook: New Unit – 16! All these words ‘ee’ sounding ending but are written in 4 different ways – y, ey, i and uay
Put y, ey, i and uay as your heading and make a list of each word with these endings. Read them aloud and use www.dictionary.com for any new words.
TIP: Quay is pronounced ‘key’ – a platform that runs along the water. E.g. Aston Quay in the city centre runs alongside the River Liffey
Qu 1 – homophones – words which sound the same but have different meanings
Read at Home: Tongue Twisters pg 116 QU 1-5 full sentences with cursive writing
These tongue twisters are tricky! Record yourself saying one and upload it to Seesaw!
Choose another from this list on this website and write it in your copy. Try to say it three time really fast and challenge a family member to do the same!

Here is your Monday work
Spelling Workbook: New Unit – 16! All these words ‘ee’ sounding ending but are written in 4 different ways – y, ey, i and uay
Put y, ey, i and uay as your heading and make a list of each word with these endings. Read them aloud and use www.dictionary.com for any new words.
TIP: Quay is pronounced ‘key’ – a platform that runs along the water. E.g. Aston Quay in the city centre runs alongside the River Liffey
Qu 1 – homophones – words which sound the same but have different meanings
Read at Home: Tongue Twisters pg 116 QU 1-5 full sentences with cursive writing
These tongue twisters are tricky! Record yourself saying one and upload it to Seesaw!
Choose another from this list on this website and write it in your copy. Try to say it three time really fast and challenge a family member to do the same!

The Butterfly Lion:
Chapter 9 ‘A Load of Old Codswallop’
I have recorded a summary of chapter 6 on Seesaw for you. Please listen and read the two pages I have uploaded here or on Seesaw.
Write your prediction for what happens next: Does Millie find Bertie and how does she do it? What would their reunion be like? Do you think Bertie will make a recovery? Will the lion make another appearance?
I can’t wait to read them!

Butterfly Lion: The Story So Far!
- Bertie saved a white lion years ago when he was a boy and they grew up together. He kept him company while he lived in the compound in Africa. Bertie had no brothers or sisters, just the lion for company. His mother was very loving but sadly she died of malaria.
- Unfortunately, Bertie had to give the white Lion to a Frenchman who owned a circus. He never forgot him, but he had to go to boarding school in England. He was growing up and that was when he met Millie.
They became best friends through the years, and later fell in love.
- We finished the Butterfly Lion with Bertie fighting in the trenches in World War 1. He and Millie had been writing to each other, but just then Millie had not heard any news from Bertie in a long time.
- It is also important to remember that an old woman is telling this story to the young boy who has run away from school at the beginning of the book.
So that’s where are in our novel! Starting Monday I will sometimes read the novel on Seesaw for you/show you parts of the book/give you summaries of each chapter. You will then have small tasks to complete around the book. It really is a lovely story so it will be nice to finish it! 😊

- Beginning with why you are writing. Like a newspaper report, tell your problem in one sentence.
- Body of the letter – details. Why are you upset? What happened with the product that you purchased? Do you feel disappointed/let down by the company? Did the issue effect anyone else in your family?
- Closing – what do you want done about this problem? A refund? An apology? A new phone/cake?

Poetry and Art:
Today’s poem is all about what the poet imagines he finds through a magic door. He has some beautiful images in each verse. Read it and see what you think. I love the images of the great ocean sea, I would love to step through that door. Activity is below poem.
New words:
Lupins – a kind of flower
Tranquil – very quiet and peaceful
Promontories – high land that sticks out into the sea
Through That Door
Through that door
Is a garden with a wall,
The red brick crumbling,
The lupins growing tall,
Where the lawn is like a carpet
Spread for you,
And it’s all as tranquil
As you never knew.
Through that door
Is the great ocean-sea
Which heaves and rolls
To eternity,
With its islands and promontories
Waiting for you
To explore and discover
In that vastness of blue.
Through that door
Is your secret room
Where the window lets in
The light of the moon,
With its mysteries and magic
Where you can find
Thrills and excitements
Of every kind.
Through that door
Is the city of the mind
Where you can imagine
What you’ll find.
You can make of that city
What you want it to,
And if you choose to share it
Then it could come true
By John Cotton
Lovely isn’t it? :)
Your task: Think about where you would go through a magic door. It can be any place in the world, or maybe it’s in your imagination and you are creating it!
What does it look like?
What does it sound like? Is it peaceful/exciting/thrilling/night-time/day-time/underwater?
Why is it magical for you?
Write a short verse about this place starting with ‘Through that door…’
Use this verse as inspiration for your Art work. Look at the picture below and it will give you instructions on how to create your magic door 😊

and lots of
barbecue
and buttermilk
and homemade ice-cream

and listen to
gospel music
outside
at the church
homecoming
and go to the mountains with
your grandmother
and go barefooted
and be warm
all the time
not only when you go to bed
and sleep
What do you think? This poem is great because you can tell a lot about her life by the things she talks about. She paints a picture with her words, very simple words! That’s what I would like you to do 😊

I always like… OR
I always dislike…
And list all the things linked with what you chose.

Music: April Showers from Disney’s Bambi – link is below
Divide your page into three parts. Listen to this piece of music and draw what comes into your imagination when you hear it. There is definitely a beginning, middle and end.
Your drawing can be abstract or not, it doesn’t need to make sense, it is about what you feel when you hear the music.
Think about how they are different, what instruments are used to make it dramatic and how does it all slow down at the end?
Enjoy it! I love this piece of music and I think you will too. We are lucky we are not getting many April showers this year!

Good morning girls!

I can’t wait to see some of these drawings/sketches/paintings/abstract artwork when we are back in Christ the King! Best of luck with them! I might try some myself!

Poetry Ireland Day 2020
We wrote beautiful poems all week to celebrate Poetry Ireland Day. We are very creative poets in 4th Class!
Athletics
We took part in Athletics for 6 weeks with Jeannette. We raced, jumped, threw shotputts and got our heart rates up every week. We loved it!
Junior Achievement
We are taking part in Junior Achievement ever week with Ciaran from KPMG. We are learning about how businesses are formed and all about teamwork.
We worked as a team to make as many pens as we could. We surprised Ciaran with how quick and efficient our work was!

Write a Book Project
Here are all our fabulous books which we created for the Write a Book Project at the beginning of the year. We are all authors and illustrators and are very proud of our creations! We put a lot of time and hard work into each book.
Maths Week
We celebrated Maths Week in so many ways! We played Maths games in class, we took part in a Maths trail around the school and we added some Maths fun into our PE lesson!
We made right angles, acute angles, obtuse angles, perpendicular and parallel lines in pairs using our bodies. Can you guess which ones are which?
