Hello 4th Class! I hope you had a great week back to learning last week and are enjoying our theme of BIRDS.
I love seeing all of your work that is being sent into me! I am so proud of all of you working so hard at home and I just want to say keep up the fantastic work! I have put together some more activities for you to do this week. As always, try your best and do what you can.

Guidance for Parents
Dear parents
I hope you are keeping well!
I have uploaded a file here that goes into detail about the work for this week and the worksheets needed. If you have not completed last weeks list of work that is completely fine I have just added to the workload not created a new list.
I have added some extra English, Irish and Maths for this week as well as an extra Geography and Art task for those who completed last weeks tasks already.
Please contact me if you cannot access any resources.
Kind Regards,
Miss Dempsey.

English
This week in English we will be continuing to look at Report Writing. For this week, the children will be expected to look at their rough draft of their native Irish bird and write out their finished Report. Please do not forgot to make it colourful and include pictures. Please send me on the finished report to read. I am excited to learn all about your birds!
Here are some useful links for research:

Also in relation to Reading, I wanted us to try and read together. So I have attached the link to bring you to the online copy of Roald Dahl's very famous book, the BFG. I have attached an audio of me reading the first chapter today that the children can listen to as the read along to the words. This week I would like the children to read Chapter 2 called "Who?" and next week I will read Chapter 3. (Click below for the book)

Irish
This week we will be reading about birds and Spring! (An t-éan agus an t-Earrach). I have uploaded the reading comprehension in the link below with recordings of myself reading them aloud to help the children with pronunciation.
If you just click on the speaker Icon and press play the children will be able to hear me read and then they can read it aloud afterwards to practice their oral Irish. I have also added in translations to help at home because I understand that Irish is a tricky subject to help with.
I have also included a PowerPoint with a voice over to go through some new words about ag Siopadoireacht. They can use this to help them draw their town with shops and write 3/4 sentences about the town the draw/create.

Also if you would like to practice rhymes here is a link to one about birds (Bhí dhá éan bheaga) and "Dónall Dámhan Alla" (the incy wincy spider as gaeilge!)

Maths
As a school, we are all looking at the topic Weight for this week. We will be using our Planet Maths, pg. 114-116 to practice our maths this week. (Activities outlined in Timetable!)
I have also made a video for the class this week about weight. I have included simple activities you can try out at home to practice weight this week. I am very sorry for the delay! I had to make it into two videos as it would not upload as one.
I have also left my video about the lambs in case some people did not get around to this maths challenge last week.

SESE
Geography/P.E- Go for a walk and listen out for birds, see can you see any from the picture below!
If you have already gone for your walk, I have added a video about a Swallows Journey below. You can try to find all the places they fly over on a map.
History- I have attached the Old Irish Story of "The Children of Lir". Read the PowerPoint to find out more about this old Irish Legend and see if you want to try one of the tasks on the last slide!
Science- I have also attached two STEM challenges for you to choose from and see can you complete this week.(if you dont have marbles, find something in your house that look like eggs!) I would love to see some photos!

Drama- Look at this photo to the right and write a script based on the two birds. Try and act it out with a family member.
Art- Click the video below and try and follow the step by step guide on how to draw a Robin. If you have completed the Robin last week, I have attached a camouflage challenge to the file up above for this week. Music/P.E-listen with eyes closed. Open your eyes and draw what you see or dance along with the music. See can you count how many birds there are in the video altogether! |
