* Any children boxes which were not collected on Monday have now been left in the main hall. If possible it would be great if they could be collected before Friday to avoid confusion in September.

Update Monday 22^nd of June

So here we are in our last week of 5^th class. 

Continue to revise in all subjects this week. Below are Maths activities for the week ahead. Some of you may have retuned your book rental book so these pages are available to view on folesonline.ie.

I won’t be returning as a teacher to Upper Glanmire next year due to a job swap so I wish you all the best in 6^th class and with your transition into secondary school. Have a great Summer!

I will be available in the school to give out the children’s boxes from the class prefab door on Monday between 10am and 11am.

Update Thurday 19th March

Dear parents,

I hope you are all keeping well in these uncertain times.

Social media can be used in such a positive light at this time and there are many suggestions for activities online to help keep your child busy and learning at this time. Some of these activities require a digital device with an internet connection.

Folens have offered few access to view books online. This may be beneficial to you all but certainly to children who were away when the decision was made to close. FolensOnline.ie and put in the password Prim20.  If your child was absent there is no problem. A spare copy can be used also.

I am mindful of the challenges that may occur for families in the coming weeks and do not want to cause any extra stress or pressures for you and your children. I would hope that children could engage in this process independently for the most part. Revision on topics is important and now is a fantastic time for children to engage in this also. Please note the below are suggestions. You as parents and the children themselves can pick and choose as they feel. I have put many resources and suggestions here for the weeks ahead.

If you have any questions during this school closure time, I can be contacted through email at n.omahony@upperglanmirens.ie.

Wishing you all health,

Norma O Mahony

Hi children,

Hope you are all keeping well and doing what we all need to do to keep safe in these uncertain times.

Children below are a list of activities to help you to keep on learning until we make a return to school. Some of the suggestions below consists of work that would have been completed in the classroom during this time. Other activities are fun based.

All children and schools around the country are keeping up their learning. Here is a link to another school in county Donegal who have out together some activities that are linked with our class level. You will need a digital device with internet for this so you may have to ask your parents first. https://padlet.com/ffarry1/fifthsixth

English

• Keep a diary entry each day. You could do this at the start of the day (future tense) to help plan your day or you could write it at night time to look back on the day (past tense/recount writing) that has passed. You could also include worries, joy, fear and whatever you may have felt about the latest news. If you have access to a laptop, computer or tablet with Microsoft Word you might decide to practice your typing skills.
• Next story in reading zone each week. Complete the activities as normal including new words in vocab copy. Monday (B), Tuesday (C), Wednesday (D), Thursday (A), Friday (E).
• If you have done any baking during this time off, you could write the recipe and the steps for making it. (procedural writing)

• Keep working on your word and phrase lists which you got during station teaching.
