11th - 15th May 2020

Hi Everyone,

We miss you all a great deal and the realisation that the school won't reopen until September is disappointing. With that in mind we will be preparing and organising a variety of things over the next two months so it certainly won't be the last you'll hear from us. 👍

In addition to last week's post we have an English newsletter we wish you to contribute to, further details below. As we mentioned last week the Geography and Maths work has already been posted but, in any case, we've included below. As ever it is only a suggestion and does not need to be completed if it's causing any hassle. 

There is a timetable included however you are free to complete the work and post it whenever suits your schedule.

All Students

English:

We would like to start a 6^th class newsletter so that we can all keep in touch. Here are some suggestions for what you could contribute to it: 

• ·         tell us what’s going on in your life at the moment,
• ·         write a poem,
• ·         create a crossword,
• ·         share a recipe,
• ·         tell us some interesting facts that you’ve learnt recently
• ·         send in some artwork
• ·         send in photos of you doing some fun activity.

Whatever you’d like to share with the class!   

We would like you to continue with your daily DEAR time too. 

Maths:

This week we will continue to revise Multiplication. Don’t forget to estimate and to include your magic zeros. In Section C make sure to do the part in the bracket first!! 

Geography.  Unit 13 of Small World Geo & Sci. THE MOON. https://www.cjfallon.ie/

This week you can continue with the Moon as a topic. You may have started the chapter last week.

Because there is so much information in this topic, this can be used as Ms Hayes’ group’s reading book. So you will not be reading a reader this week, you’ll read the 5 pages about the moon instead.

Please answer the following:

1. ·         Questions 1 and 2 at the bottom of page 75.
2. ·         Activities A, B and C on page 78.
