A Word From Teacher

Good morning everyone,

I hope you are all well and had a lovely weekend.

I know it’s getting that little bit harder now to keep working every day. But don’t give up, you are really doing so well.

Next week we will have a virtual school tour where you will visit a very special place on your computer. I’m really looking forward to that. There may be some clues in this week’s work about where we will visit!

We also have a Sport’s Day coming up in the next couple of week to complete safely in your home and garden.

I have set new challenges on Mangahigh for this week. Quick, quick, go and have a look!! Can you beat your classmates? Give each challenge a few tries.

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.

We are on week 2 of our new wordbox words for our final class story this week. Spellings included- to be practised each day by writing them down.

2. Topic: Money

Yesterday you were counting amounts of money in the piggy bank. Did you count your own money too?

Today we will learn about writing euros and cents as cents.

So , if we have 1 euro and 20 cent we can write it as 100c + 20c

When we write amounts of money, the full euros are always on the left of the decimal point.

€ 1 . 34 So there is one full euro and 34 cents

Give these ones a try:

19

There are 100c in a euro

What does this 0 mean?

Yes, there are no full euros in this amount.

Now, with your own coins at home, make up 3 of the amounts above.

2. Topic: Money

Yesterday you learned how to write amounts as cents. We must remember that there are 100c in a euro. That will really help us.

Can you try this one? €1.56 = ______________c

Today we will go the other way. We will write amounts using the euro symbol.

If we have 15c do we have any full euro?

No.

So we will write 0 on the euro side of the decimal place. € 0.15

Now try these:

24

Look, I see one hundred in this number. That means there must be one full euro.100c = €1

If there are no full euros, we write 0 before the decimal point.

14c = € 0 . 14

4. Topic: Acrostic PoemsToday we are going to write an acrostic poem for a starfish. An acrostic poem spells a word down the side. Each line of the poem describes the word along the side. I have included a Powerpoint presentation all about acrostic poems on the website. Please have a look. Here is a video also to guide you further https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gVOeA7aqM0

Here are some more examples of some acrostic poems:

You will notice that acrostic poems can be about anything at all. Sometimes just one word is used for each letter and sometimes a full sentence is written.

The important thing is however, that whether you use just words or full sentences, they must be related to the main word along the side.

25

Task 2: Make an acrostic poem using the letters of your name.

You have finished today’s challenges.
