If I Were the Principal

Open up the following picture and choose two children to describe (you can do all three if you want to challenge yourself) The first one is done for you so use that to help you. Use the vocab in your sheet and the words from Monday to help you. Don’t forget to use adjectives.

Gaeilge – Tuesday

7: What is the presidents wife’s name?

8: How many children does he have?

When we think of heroes, we think of superheroes like Superman and Wonder Woman. But did you know you can be a real life hero too?

Today Múinteoir Ray talks about Marcus Rashford. He is a very good footballer and plays for Manchester United. But what is really amazing about Marcus is what he does when he is not scoring goals. Watch Muinteir Ray chatting about him, watch closely at how Muinteoir Ray fills out the factfile for Marcus Rashford.  Marcus Rashford

If you would like to read more information about Marcus Rashford click here Marcus Rashford

Now I want you to think of one hero you know. It can be someone known personally to you, someone famous or someone in your community. Make out a fact file box for your hero. You can lay it out exactly like Muinteoir Ray does in the video above. You may need to use the internet to find out some information about your hero or if it is someone you know you might be able to ring them to ask them. If you are finding it tricky to decide what a hero is watch the kid president talk to Tom Hanks about heroes: Heroes

Here are some heroes from the past you could write about: Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King, Anne Frank, Walt Disney, Helen Keller, Micheal Collins, Bob Dylan, Walt Disney. Or maybe you know a nurse or doctor or someone else working through this pandemic and think they are a hero.

Spellings: Because this week is mid-term you do not have any spellings.

Vocab sheet – you should know all your vocab and phrases by this week. It would be really good if you could practice your comhra with someone at home, dress up or hold a fashion show. A great idea would be to do a zoom with your friend in class and practice your vocab, describe what each other is wearing.

Today we are looking at adjectives as Gaeilge. When we are describing clothes as Gaeilge the describing word normally comes after the item of clothing (the opposite to what happens in English) e.g. hata ildate – colourful hat, gúna gleoite – pretty dress.

Match up the twelve items of clothes to the correct description at the bottom of the page. If you have a printer you can print out the page if not just write out the list of clothes in your copy and number them 1-12. Gaeilge worksheet for Monday

If you come across new adjectives that were not in your voacb sheet there is space to write them in in the second column!
