English
This week in English we will be looking at persuasive Writing. For this week, the children will be expected to read the example of persuasive writing n the document above and write their rough draft. The topic for their writing is "why should water pollution be stopped?"
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 Chapter 3 today that the children can listen to as the read along to the words. This week I would like the children to read Chapter 4 called "The Cave" and next week I will read Chapter 5. (Click below for the book)

Irish
This week we will be reading about Caitheamh Aimsire! (Pastimes). 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 Caitheamh Aimsire. There is a worksheet at the end of this powerpoint.

Maths
As a school, we are all looking at the topic Capacity for this week. We will be using our Planet Maths, pg. 157-160 to practice our maths this week. (Activities outline on suggested timetable)
I have also made a video for the class this week about Capacity. There is a worksheet for children to do in the file above in relation to the new video. I had to upload two videos as one would not upload so I have it broken into two below! Watch all the way until the end to see what happens to the potion!

SESE
Geography- On Saturday the 9th it is Europe Day. This week I would like for you to pick a country in Europe and find out some fun facts about it (There is a fact file sheet in the document above).
You could draw the flag of the country or make food from that country. I would love to see your photos of you celebrating!
Science- Many societies were built near water and wanted to trade with other places across the water. As time went on they started to build bridges. Please try make a bridge that can stay up on two tables/chairs (like the photos below!), using only newspaper and sellotape. I have added two photos to show how it has to stand but it does not need to be as big. You can test your bridge to see if it is strong enough by putting weight on the centre, such as coins!
History- I have uploaded a PowerPoint to the website about a famous sea explorer, Captain James Cook. You can read all about his adventures below!Design a poster that you think would have been advertised by James Cook to recruit sailors for his travels into the scary, unknown seas!

Drama/Art/ Music
|
wArt- The children can create an under the sea drawing with a twist. Once they have drawn their scene the can use an ear bud and paint to add colour, this is known as the pointillism technique. If you do not have paint, markers and colours can also be used for the dots. I have uploaded a PowerPoint all about the technique below.
Drama- Imagine you were one of the first explorers to set sail across the sea, like Captain James Cook. Make an imaginary boat out of chairs or objects at home and act out the difficult journey! Music- We looked at body percussion at the very start of the year. See can you create the sound of a rainstorm using only your body. I have uploaded the video we watched in September to give the children some ideas. I would love to hear some rainstorms that are created.
