Rang a 3 Work Schedule March 23rd-27th

Dear Parents and Students,

I hope you are all keeping well and I hope you enjoyed listening to Raidió Rang a 3. Well done on your work so far. Here is an updated version of work for the upcoming week 23^rd-27^th March 2020. I had originally posted this work when the school first closed, and you should continue with this work, however I have now added more content and links to help and further your child’s learning at home. I will make a similar update next week 30^th March-3^rd April so keep a close eye on the website.

As Mr Fox said in his message on the homepage of our website ‘We hope that this is not creating any additional stress for parents and we ask that you access only as much of this work that you can do’.

Routine is key to learning at home so I would encourage students to make a timetable for weekdays to help structure their learning just like in class.

Folens have made their content available to parents. This is a useful website as you can find lots of interactive and extra content to follow on from some of the topics in student’s textbooks. It is particularly good for content in relation to Maths, English and Gaeilge. Log onto to Folensonline.ie. Register as a teacher and use the roll number: PRIM20 to create an account.

Twinkl have also made all their resources free to use and have excellent activities, worksheets and timetables that could be of use. They are offering all parents a One Month Free Membership which will allow parents access to resources related to all curriculum areas. Just go to www.twinkl.ie/offer and enter the code IRLTWINKLHELPS

Oral Language, Reading and the Novel

Continue reading and enjoying the Butterfly Lion. It is important to ask your child about the novel. Here are some ways you can do that:

$1·       Get them to orally recount parts of the story to you in order to reinforce their understanding of the book.

$1·       Orally predict what will happen next in the story after each chapter.

$1·       Ask them how some of the characters would have felt after a major event in the book.

$1·       Who, What, Where, Why And When questions are always a good to use when reading a novel.

Here is a link to the author, Michael Morpurgo, answering some interesting questions. Before you watch it, ask your child if they had any question for Michael Morpurgo what would they be? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MV9WqzT3TM

Handwriting

Keep practicing your cursive handwriting in you Write Here workbooks. You could also keep practicing your cursive handwriting in your English and Novel copies.

Gaeilge

Again, Folens have great resource to help consolidate and reinforce learning for topics covered in Abair Liom. Encourage your child to use some of the phrases in the previous chapters of the Abair liom around the house and with family members. Games such as ‘Deir Ó ‘Grádaigh’ and Bingo (With spellings from this weeks F&F) are good warm up activities.

Duolingo is also great for the revision of simple phrases as Gaeilge for students and the whole family. Encourage students to say the phrases out loud as they progress through the stages: https://www.duolingo.com/

Maths

This week we are focusing on number patterns and sequences. Folensonline have great online games to practice and get a grasp on this topic. Practicing counting in 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s, 10s, 20s, etc. can help with number sequence. Here is a video to introduce the topic:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Re3nbmqVaU

Some games we use in class as warm up activities are countdown, 4 rolls to 100, and of coarse SLAPS! The students and well versed in these games and could play them with family members as a warmup activities. SLAPS is a great game to recap on tables too.

PE:

Physical education is essential to a healthy mind and body at this time. I would encourage students to exercise for at least 1 hour each day. Here are some links to a few great ideas to help you exercise both inside and outside the house:

The Body Coach will now be doing live workouts at 9am for children each morning on weekdays on his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1/featured

Just Dance is another YouTube channel which have great videos to help keep fit indoors: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChIjW4BWKLqpojTrS_tX0mg

Go Noodle is similar to Just Dance and has great videos to keep fit and get moving on them rainy days: https://www.gonoodle.com/

Art

Create a Doodle. We did them before in class, but this time why not try to make a Doodle about Easter. Here is a link to a video which shows you how to start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4N882MPTPQ

Before you start your Doodle think of all the things to do with Easter and try to fit them all into your Doodle.

SESE

History

This week’s chapter is about The Normans. Here are a few links for some extra info on this topic.

Music

Listening

The Uilleann Pipes is a very special Irish music instrument. It is played all over Ireland, and all over the world. It takes many years of practice to master this instrument.

Watch this short video where you can hear them being played: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K9rPHs2fXo

Religion

Dear Parents,

Please find below work for our literacy group. We fully understand that work has been assigned by the class teacher and would ask that these activities are used as additional support and are completed at your child’s own pace. As our group work is differentiated, please identify work which is relevant only to your child. We hope you are all keeping well and we hope to see you soon.

Kind Regards,

Mrs McKiernan & Ms. K. Lynch
