Friday 22nd
Good morning boys and girls. Well done you have nearly completed your second week of online learning! You did great!
Don’t forget to log on for the zoom call if you can at 1:00pm. Here is the link: Zoom drop-in It is the same password as last week, if you have forgotten it just send me an email and I will resend it.
| Test | Just like last week take out your January Copy and rule it as you would for a test.
Over the first column write Gaeilge and on the other write English. If you have someone that can ask you your spellings great if not you can test yourself using the Look, Say, Write, Cover, Check method. For the English spellings some of you are working on the list from last week and others are doing the dictionary words from this week. For your tables test you will find the link to daily 10 here: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10 If you spent time learning your tables this week then you should be able to get full marks doing 5 seconds.

| Art | Doodle hand art (patterns)
Ms. Duggan designed an art lesson for you to do today. Her design turned out beautiful. What kind of one can you create? Here is what it will look like when you finish.
Step one: get your supplies ready. You will need 2 white pages. A black marker, colours (pencils, crayons or markers!) a scissors and pritt stick!
Step two: trace your hand on one of the white pages.
Step three: cut out the hand and pritt stick it onto the second white page.
Step four: section off your page whichever way you like. You could use straight lines, wavy lines, zigzag lines etc. Remember to draw over your hand template for this bit! It must be included in the sections.
Step four: begin to doodle on the hand part of the art work using your coloured markers/pencils use as many different designs and patterns you can and try your best to be super original here
Step five: finish your doodling in black and white in the background!
I think Ms. Duggan deserves a round of applause for her fabulous design. Enjoy!

Wednesday 20th January
Fun facts of the day: For most people it is not possible to lick your elbow.
It is physically impossible for a pig to look up at the sky.
I hope you are all having a lovely week.
We will have a zoom check-in again this Friday and I am hoping to do a show and tell. If you would like to show your pet or an object to the rest of the class then use the zoom to do a show and tell. Before Friday, I would like you to practice what you will say. You could make a list of what you want to chat about to help you when you are speaking about your pet or object e.g. pets name, what kind of a pet it is (breed of dog or cat), how old they are, what they like and dislike, what things you need to do to care for them (walk them/wash them/clean out their cage). You will have four minutes to chat about your pet or object and then I will allow the rest of the class to ask you a question or two about it. I will try to get through as many as I can on Friday but if we don’t get through everybody then we can do it the following Friday. Just so I have an idea of how many people would like to speak can you let me know by email when you send in your homework if you would like to talk. If you have any questions about this then please don’t hesitate to ask me.
Best of luck with the work today!
