5^th Class Work

2^nd-5^th June 2020

Hi 5^th class,

I hope you’re all still doing well. Below is the work for this week.

All worksheets and power points are on this Padlet link: https://padlet.com/emmakaneteacher/o5friez0vfihsl35

You do not have to print anything off. Any sums or questions can be written into your copies.

Note for parents/guardians: please drop any shared books that belong to the school on Wednesday 10^th June from 11-12pm. Please place the books in a plastic bag, tied shut with your child’s name and ‘5^th class’ written on front. The following books are shared books that must be returned to the school. If you have more than one child attending the school with books to return, you can return ALL their books at the allotted time for your eldest child.

For example: if you have two children, one in 5^th class and the other in 1^st class. You can return BOTH CHILDREN’S BOOKS at the 5^th class allotted time (10^th June 11-12pm).

5^th class shared books:

• Mathemagic

Don’t forget to tune into the Home School Hub every day from (11am-12pm).

As usual, you do not have to complete all activities on this sheet. Just try and get whatever you can done! My school e-mail is funfitnessqoa@gmail.com. Your parents/guardians can contact me using that e-mail address with any questions at all.

RTÉ Home School Hub and activities:

English:

• English in Practice: 1 day per day. Continue with daily exercises. (5 days completed by Friday)
• Spelling Workbook: Complete next spelling list and workbook pages for it. Write each word into 1 sentence.

4 extra spellings: England, design, cents, engine. Write each word into sentences also.

• Grammar topic: Colons and semi-colons. Better English page 116 QA and B.
• Please complete one page of handwriting in your workbook each day.
• If you are one of the children in the class who does not write in cursive (I have told you if you don’t) then I would like you to practice your handwriting by writing out the third paragraph on page 57 ‘Who Discovered America?’ (words: ‘But’-‘before Columbus!’).
• Reading: I have uploaded 2 documents: ‘Reading Comprehension Skills Challenge Cards’ and ‘Reading Comprehension Skills Challenge Cards with Sentence Starters.’ I would like you to complete the next 3 challenge cards (European Holidays, The Big Moment, Fireworks-Beautiful but Dangerous)

Each of these challenge cards are asking you questions based on different types of answers. If you struggle with forming full sentences when answering reading comprehensions, you can use the ‘Reading Comprehension Skills Challenge Cards with Sentence Starters.’ This will give you a start to your answers. The answers are below each set of questions so you can check if you are correct. Don’t forget to use CUPS to self-correct all your written work.

Gaeilge:

• New pronoun: le-with
• Learn off by heart. Write 3 times in your copy.

Come with me-> Tar liom.

Translate these sentences:

1. Come with her.
2. Come with him.
3. Come with us.
4. Go with me.
5. Eat with them.

Answers are on Padlet to check your work.

• ‘Cóisir Lá Breithe’ is the name of your reading comprehension this week. There is a power point with a slide of new words that you can hear me pronounce and translate. Please learn these new words before reading the story. Translate as much of the story as you can before you listen to the 3^rd slide’s translation. The full reading comprehension with the questions is on the Padlet link. Complete the questions and correct them using the answers provided.

Compete all questions you can do. This is a topic we have not completed this year. So please do your best I have uploaded a power point about weight which may be of some help also.

• Mental Maths: Complete 1 day per day.

If you do different maths to the rest of the class:

This week’s topic: weight (recap on last year’s work)

Follow this link: https://my.cjfallon.ie/dashboard/student-resources

Watch tutorials 101, 102 and 103 for each of the pages. Please complete pages 153-156 Busy At Maths 4^th Class Online book. This may be quite difficult but you will hopefully remember a few things from last year so give it your best effort and don’t feel too much pressure to get everything right. The fact that you are trying this on your own outside of school is a huge achievement in itself!

SESE:

• History: Complete a project on the Suffragettes (you have this week AND next week).
• Science: Try out the Hand Hygiene Experiment on the Padlet link and observe the results over the next few weeks.

Art: Outdoor Art: over the month of June you can try out one or two of the different outdoor art options on the Padlet link. If you have access to a printer you can print it out and colour in each activity you do. Enjoy!

Drama: Continue learning your lines for the musical. Try one of these fun scripts with anyone at home! http://www.teachingheart.net/readerstheater.htm

P.E.

Go Noodle: parents/guardians can sign up for Go Noodle for free here. It has a range of workout videos, yoga, mindfulness and lots more. It is very important that we stay as active as we can during these strange times. Hopefully this link helps with that! https://www.gonoodle.com/good-energy-at-home-kids-games-and-videos/

Well done to all of you for all the work you are doing at home. You should be very proud of yourselves!

Stay safe and well,

Ms Kane.
