Verb test Take your time with this test I have put some answers in to trick you out. If you can get to the end of the test without losing any lives take a screenshot and sent it on to me!

This week you learned about 3D shapes. You learned the names of different 3D shapes and what their nets look like. Some of you constructed 3D shapes from their nets. You learned about the properties of prisms and pyramids.

Today you are going to try drawing and constructing 3D shapes. First watch the video below. Then have  a go at drawing some of the shapes. Use the guide on PM p168 B to help you

Drawing 3D shapes

If you would rather you can try and make 3D shapes. You can use materials around the house. One option is to use matchsticks and blue tack like this:

Another more yummy option is to use toothpicks, spaghetti and mini marshmallows like this:

Use this as a guild to help you when building if you like: Making 3D shapes

Be sure to send me on any pictures you have or if you manage to make them before the zoom call later I would love to see them!

Idioms

An idiom is a word or phrase which means something different from its literal meaning. Watch this very catchy video explaining what an idiom is https://watchkin.com/2bcc401509. Be prepared to have this song stuck in your head for the rest of the day!!

Can you figure out the idiom from the emoji’s in this video clip?  Name the idiom.

Read the list of idioms here and choose one. On a blank page I want you to draw a line down the middle. On one side I want you to draw a picture of what the idiom means literally and on the other side draw a picture of what it means figuratively just like the picture below:

 Just like last week I have another story for you to listen to: https://watchkin.com/b353a15cf0

1. Gather everything you need. Count how many people are in your family, if there are 5 then you will need five different coloured pages. If you do not have coloured paper you can just colour the hands different colours.

2. Draw the outline of everyone’s hand. If you have a dog you could even try to get their paw print.

3. Arrange the handprints in order of size with the biggest at the back. Glue them onto the page. You can write the names and ages of each hand on them. You can add in the following phrase also if you wish: “When the world stayed apart, we stayed together”

4. As you learned last year, when you flatten a 3D shape out so that you can see all its faces, you make what is called a net. Watch the video below, can you guess the shape it will make before they tell you? https://watchkin.com/ec9a452cc8

Instead of doing PM today I want you to name the six 3D shapes below in the image below in your maths copy.

Here is a Pacman game on nets: Guess the shape from the net

If you can, print out some of the nets of the shapes and see if you can make them. I would love to see a picture if you manage to make them! Colour them in before you build them.

Last week we were looking at matter and we saw how matter can change when it is heated or cooled. Today we are going to look at conductors and insulators. Watch this short video explaining what that means:  https://watchkin.com/d6e9e94cfc

Read the information below before you do the experiment.

For our experiment this week we are going to test out materials that might be conductors or insulators.

Find the instructions here: Conductors and Insulators experiment

Don’t forget to write down your results or take some pictures of you doing the experiment.

In your copy I want you to find three things at home that would be good insulators (what helps to keep things warm?) and three good conductors (what gets hot when heat is applies to it?)

– This week we are going on to division by 12. Spend today practicing counting up in 12’s. If you are finding it tricky only do half today and learn the other half tomorrow. Is there a pattern you can see?

Practice your tables here do step 1a and 1b today.

– This week we are moving onto 3-D shapes.  Watch this video to refresh your memory on 3-D shapes first: What is a 3D shape?

– Have a look at p167 in PM and answer the questions below orally (you do not need to write the answers to these questions down)

1. Describe the shape.

2. How many faces/edges/corners (vertices) does it have?

3. What might this shape be used for?

I have attached your new vocab sheet. It would be great if you could print it out and stick it into your hardback. Today spend some time learning the phrases and vocab I have highlighted on my sheet below: Vocab sheet and here in this sheet it is highlighted what you have for today: Vocab sheet – Monday

Excellent job to everyone who did their verbs last week. You might have spotted a pattern with them…they were all caol verbs so the endings were ‘im and eann’.

Look closely at all the verbs this week they are a mixture of leathan and caol so you need to choose the correct endings. If it has a leathan ending (a,o,u) the endings will be: aim and ann. If it has a caol ending (i,e) the endings will be: im and eann. 

Correct the verb you did Friday (caith) and conjugate (write out) bris – to break in the aimsir laithreach (gach lá). Make sure you choose the correct ending!

Have a look at p90+91 in Abair Liom. Watch the video of the short story. How much of it can you understand?  Have a look at p90+91 in Abair Liom while the story is being read. Abair Liom lth90+91
