3. Gaeilge:
As a revision exercise try ask your child a few questions based on “Sa Chistin” and “Sa Seomra Codlata”.
Ask them where a certain object is. Get them to give you a full answer, eg.
Parent: Cá bhfuil an taephota? (Where is the teapot?)
Child: Tá an taephota sa chistin (The teapot is in the kitchen)
Pick objects from Tuesday & Wednesday’s list at random and ask your child to tell you where it is, through Irish. If you are not comfortable using Irish then by all means ask them “Where is the teapot?” but your child should answer you through Irish.

4. Art:
Pointillism- Aboriginal art
Responding to Dreaming stories
Use a cotton bud to make some dots on black or white paper. Or use markers or crayons to make dot patterns.
Attached are some examples of what you can do.

Welcome back to term 3 everyone!

I hope you all had a lovely and chocolate filled Easter break. 
Here are some suggested activities for you to complete today. 

Hope you're all keeping safe,
​Ms Glendon 

1. Literacy:
  • Phonics - list words with the phonic <i> (icy, icon, diet, child, idea, wild, behind, spider, pirate, diary, Viking, horizon, phial, quiet, gigantic, diagonal, microphone, hibernate) - 10 minutes
  • Refer to page 42 in your Jolly Grammar Activity book for the <i> sound
  • Reading - 10 minutes
  • Writing - Can you think of 5 bossy verbs that you can use when writing instructions, for e.g. mix, put, place, fold, eat, etc. Use some of the bossy verbs that you have thought of to complete these sentences:
    • ___________ up and walk away.

    • ___________ your shoes.
    • ___________ your brother.

2. Numeracy:
  • Mental Maths Week 26 Page 77 Monday
  • Tables x11 Table Toppers Unit 12 pg. 22

3. Gaeilge:
Today we are going to revise our vowel sounds.
There are two categories: Short Vowel and long vowel
Short vowels are; a,e,i,o,u
Long vowels are: á,é,í,ó,ú (the line over the vowel is called a fada and makes it a long vowel)
(a short YouTube clip might help a little, https://youtu.be/_nxu1CssWLk )

Spend a short time going through the sounds with your child, allow them some time to study them and afterwards check with them to see how well they know them. Eg. ask them if the “ee” sounding vowel is “i” or “í” (i with a fada). See below image of a table including all the short and long vowels with their pronunciations and examples.
