Mental Maths Week 26 Page 78 Thursday Tables x11 Table Toppers Unit 12 pg. 23 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.

3. Gaeilge: This week we are looking at the different rooms in houses and the various objects that can be found in those rooms. Today we are looking at Sa Chistin (The kitchen). The following is a list of words associated with the kitchen, along with a poster of the words and a picture to go with them (both of these lists can be seen in the images below). Try spending 10-15 mins or so going through the words and try to memorise as many as possible. The website www.teanglann.ie can be helpful as they provide a pronunciation function. 4.

Here are some suggested activities for you to complete today. Hope you're all keeping safe, Ms Glendon 1. Literacy:
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. 4. SESE: Project Theme - Australia Ideas - capital, population, language, flag, animals, states, climate, history (aborigines), famous people, famous landmarks, national anthem, popular food, popular sports, traditions |
