Ms Gallagher has the next video for us to watch for our renaming.
There is a clip from Bua na Cainte (our class Irish programme) you can listen to and a translation. We are looking at birthdays this week.
Try to get some English and Maths work done and then choose one more activity from the optional menu. Also remember to get an active break in too. Most of all enjoy your family time and don't forget to help with the chores.
Lots of good reading on https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/

Use
rainbow writing to practice these words on a blank page or in a copybook.
Rainbow writing is a fun way to use repetition to
help practice spelling words. It's a simple process where you use multiple
colors of pencil, marker or crayon to create a fun rainbow effect when you write.
Simply write the word once and then trace in as many different colours as you
can!
-
Parents/
Guardians: choose two of the 'or' words and put them into simple sentences.
Call out (dictate) these sentences and have your child write the sentences
down as accurately as possible. Look over the sentence together and point out
1 thing they did really well and 1 thing they could improve on next time e.g.spelling,
using capital letters, full stops, spacing etc.
