A Word From Teacher

Good morning everyone,

I hope you are all well – rested after the weekend?

We have lots of lovely activities and lessons set out for this week. I hope you enjoy them.

Remember to try your best, keep that writing nice and tidy and don’t worry if anything is too tricky. You will have lots of help when you come back to school.

Who signed up on Mangahigh?? If you didn’t make sure you do. It’s great fun! I will set a new challenge each week.

Each week I will mention the wonderful boys and girls that have submitted their writing for our ‘We are Writers’’ Book. This week I have to say a big well done to Oscar who wrote a brilliant poem about his time at home and all of the new skills he has been learning. Well done Oscar!!

Parents, it has been really lovely to talk to you all over the last couple of weeks. You really are all doing an amazing job by the sounds of it. I know it is far from easy. As mentioned we are all still here for further support in any area. Just contact the school at st.colmcilles1@gmail.com

Some more things to remember for this week:

We are back to our Oxford Readers this week Go to www.oxfordowl.co.uk and click on MyClass login at the top of the page.

Username: Tullydonnell Tigers

Password: MsKeegan ( with capital M and K)

Click on the age group tab and select readers through the week.

Go up or down the age group if reader is too difficult, too easy. Remember reading is not just about reading the words with fluency and expression, but most importantly it’s about comprehension ( reading for understanding) . Therefore question your child on what they have read before moving onto a new reader.

I have attached your spelling sheet for this week. Use it in the same way as normal. Ask an adult to give you a mini- test on Friday.

I have attached the new wordmat for this month’s Class Reader. P.E. continues to be part of each day’s timetable. Go to the Active School tab on

the website for lots of fun activities. Getting active each day is very important. Mangahigh , a maths site is up and running for everyone. Well done to all that have

already signed up. I recommend anyone who has not signed up yet to do so. It is great fun! This will be our Maths Warm Up this week. You can find the link on the text from the school.

You will need to access Abair Liom resources this week again on https://www.folensonline.ie/registration/

The closing date for entries for ‘We are Writers’ task is May 29th . You might like to put this task in, in place of a different lesson one of the days. I hope all of your tasks go well for you this week. The answer sheet is available on the website to use daily.

Ms. Keegan

Monday May 11th Maths

1. Warm up: Mangahigh ( use the link from school text message if you have not yet registered.)

2. Topic: tens and units

Last week we were revising tens and units and we did some adding with tens and units. How did you get on?

This week we will look at tens and units with a hidden ten in the units.

We will find that hidden ten and give it over to the tens .

Take a look at this example:

**Now these take a lot of practise. So don’t worry if you don’t understand straight away. 8

Look, there are 11 units here.

We know 11 = 10 + 1

We can’t have a set of ten in the units.

We are only allowed up to 9 units, because if there are more than 9 then I have a set of ten don’t I?

So, now I have an extra set of ten.

3 sets of ten.

And look, one little unit left over.

3 tens + 1 unit

Activity: You will need counters or pasta or crayons – anything that you can count.

I’m going to use pasta.

Count out 14 pasta pieces Look what I see- a hidden set of 10

So I put the set of ten on one side and I had 4 left over. These are my units.

I have one set of ten and 4 units

Answer: 1 ten + 4 units

Now try these yourself with your pasta. Do the steps above.

1. 15 pieces of pasta = ______ tens and ____ units2. 16 pieces of pasta = ______ tens and ____ units

9

3. 12 pieces of pasta = _______ tens and _____ units

3. This week we will base all of our English lessons on the wonderful story ‘On the way home’ by Jill Murphy. If you are lucky enough to have this story in your house, great! Otherwise, you can find the story with the following link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URRAMHToe4s

Activity 1- Take a look at the front cover of the book. Make a PREDICTION about what you think the story is about. Remember, a prediction is a guess.

Activity 2: Listen to the story

Activity 3: Did you hear any adjectives?Remember- adjectives are describing words. They tell us more about the noun.Example: I saw a cat. I saw a big, fluffy cat.

10

I will start you off.

There are 6 more adjectives to find. Good luck!!

I will use pasta for my example again today.

Count out 21 pieces of pasta Look what I found- 2 hidden sets of ten

So now I have 2 sets of ten and 1 unit.

2 tens + 1 unit

Now try these: 14

1. Warm up: Mangahigh ( use the link from school text message if you have not yet registered)

2. Topic: Tens and Units ( with hidden sets of tens)

**Remember, every number above 9 has a hidden set of ten

Examples: 10 = 1 set of ten + 0 units

11= 1 set of ten + 1 unit

12 = 1 sets of ten + 2 units

13 = 1 set of ten + 3 units

Activity: Can you find the hidden set of ten in these numbers?

26

Look what I see..

We can’t have 15 units because there is a hidden set of ten in 15.

15 = 10 + 5

So 15 = 1 set of ten and 5

3. Topic: Story ‘ On the way home.’- Writing

You will be very familiar with our story by now. I hope you have been enjoying it. The little girl Claire has a brilliant imagination. She makes up lots of stories about what happened to her knee throughout the story. Read one of Claire’s imaginative stories below:

Then Claire met her friend Celia“Look at my bad knee”, said Claire.“How did you do it?”, asked Celia.“Well”, said Claire, “there was a gigantic giant and he came stomping through the houses, and he picked me up and said …Fee, fi , fo , fum, a tasty girl for my hungry tum.”“But I punched him on the nose so hard that he let me fall. And that’s how I got my bad knee. “

Today I want you to think of one more story for Claire. Let’s pretend Claire bumped into one more friend named Tom on the way home. Write your story below.

Then Claire met her friend Tom.27

“Look at my bad knee”, said Claire.

“How did you do it?”, asked Tom.

Thursday May 14th Music

We have started learning about sound this week in Science. On Tuesday, you had to listen very carefully to sounds to identify what makes that sound.

28

As we know musical instruments make lots of sounds.

We use different instruments in different ways to make the sound.

In your activity today, I want you to find out which instrument make sounds by shaking, plucking or strumming, banging or hitting and blowing.

Cut and stick the following instruments into the correct boxes on the next page.

electric guitar

tambourine maracas

flute harp

trumpet

Teacher tip: One of these instruments can be used to 2 ways.

Draw an arrow to the second box you think it belongs to also.

Shake to make a sound Pluck or strum to make a sound

Bang or hit to make a sound Blow to make a sound

Thumbs up! You have finished today’s challenges.
