https://stories.audible.com/start-listen
Examples of time words for the:
-Beginning: First, in the beginning, initially…
-Middle: Next, after a while, later on…
-End: Finally, in the end…
-Make a list of all the activities you do in one day. Rewrite this list in a small paragraph using your time words;
For example: First, I wake up and brush my teeth. After a while, I have some cereal for my breakfast. Next, I help my mum clean the kitchen. Later on, I play football with my little brother. Finally, I put on my pyjamas and go to bed.
*Note: Notice how a comma will follow all the time words at the beginning of the sentence.
A rhyming word are when words sounds the same. The words ‘cat’ and ‘hat’ have the same letters at the end of the word, therefore they rhyme. Sometimes, the letters can be different and the words still rhymes. For example: ‘socks’ and ‘fox’. Below is an extract from the rhyming book ‘The Highway Rat’. Rewrite the following piece into your copies. Using a colour of your choice, circle all the rhyming words.
The Highway Rat was a baddie.
The Highway Rat was a beast.
He took what he wanted and ate what he took.
His life was one long feast.
His teeth were sharp and yellow,
His manners were rough and rude,
And the Highway Rat went riding –
Riding – riding –
Riding along the highway and stealing the traveller’ food.
-What do you notice about where the rhyming words are?
-Re-write the rhyming words beside each other.
– Are all the letters the same?
-Pick out four words to describe the rat. Now think of another way to say that word. (You are listing as many synonyms as you can- words that have the same meaning.) ‘Kids Thesaurus’ will help you find lots of synonyms. Simply type the word into the search bar. https://kidthesaurus.com/
For example: Synonyms of greedy: eager, gluttonous, hungry, selfish.

–Scríobh an scéal agus léigh and scéal. (Write the story, then read) Make sure you write into a copy and not the book.

–Page 123: Na Míonna agus na Séasúir: Draw this chart into your copy with the months and the seasons. It is an excellent way to learn these. Write the list underneath also.

Wonderopolis is an educational website that answers lots of interesting questions children may have about the world. Every day a new ‘Wonder of the Day’ answer is posted, including answers such as: Why are flamingos pink, what would you pack for a trip to outer space and why are rainforests important?
There is also an array of subjects and areas of interest to browse through to stimulate conversation and interest in different subject areas, e.g. maths. Why not find out who invented numbers?

Ms. Mc Keon’s English Group
It’s great to see you doing such fantastic work on Seesaw again, girls . Well done and keep it up!
Watch out for more activities this week on Seesaw.
You can practise reading a page from any book and post it on Seesaw. I’d love to hear you read.
( I will put this on Seesaw also)
Practise reading a page and when you’re ready record yourself and post on seesaw. You could answer the questions orally and record them also or write the answers and post on Seesaw.
Looking forward to hearing you reading.
Ms O’Shaughnessy’s Maths group:
Hi girls, I hope you’re all well. I can’t believe that it is almost the end of the school year. Well done for working so hard at home for the past 3 months. Below is some extra work you can do if you like!
This work is optional so only do it if you have time on your hands. If you can’t do any part of it, do not stress, just do your best!
Monday: Skip counting: 6, 12, 18 etc. Count forwards and backwards. Play with a partner. Ask them to say a series of numbers but leave one out: Ex: 6, 12, _, 24 “Which one did they leave out? Exactly: 18”. Take it in turns to be “on”.
Tuesday: Repeat above activities, skip counting in 7’s.
Wednesday: What’s my table? Ask a partner to play with you. He or she chooses a number from the x6 tables. Ex: 44. You must give the multiplication and division table for this number. Ex: 6 x 4=24, 4 x6=24, 24 ÷ 6=4, 24 ÷4=6.
Thursday: Repeat the above activities for the x7 tables.
Friday: Write out the multiples for the x6 and x7 tables on pieces/ squares of paper. Place them face down on the table. Turn one over and say the corresponding table for that number: Ex: If you turn over 49, you can say 7 x 7=49, 49 ÷7=7 You could “race” each other, one of you turning over the multiples of 6 and the other turning over the multiples of 7. Have fun!
More fun with cards: Highest Wins!
You need: A pack of cards with the Jacks, Queens, Kings and Jokers removed. If you do not have a pack of cards, you could always write out the numbers on squares of paper (you would have 40 numbers, 4 of each, Ace-10, Ace=1). This is a game for 2 players.
How to play:
The game can also be played in reverse by subtracting scores from a starter number (Ex: Start with 100), the winner being the first person to reach zero.
As you are all on Seesaw, I will add the extra problem-solving activity there. Well done to you all for all the hard work you are doing on Seesaw. I’m so impressed!
Ms. Tiernan’s group:
Well done for all your hard work on Seesaw. I will post more activities this week!
