Active HOME Week and Work for Thursday 7th May and Friday 8th May

Hi everyone,
I hope you all enjoyed the break!

  • As mentioned in my video last Friday, this week is Active HOME Week, read more about it by CLICKING HERE!

Let me know on Seesaw if you've done anything as part of Active HOME Week!!

 Here are a few suggestions for activities for Thursday and Friday, remember, as usual, these are all just suggestions, whatever you wish to do or do not wish to do is fully up to you!

  • We are moving onto a new topic for Maths next week, if anyone would like to give Long Multiplication another couple of tries before then, you can give these worksheets a go:

Worksheet One 
Worksheet Two 

Mr Boyle gave out art supplies last Friday to those who wanted them, if anyone wants to create an art piece for the Scoil Cholmcille 'Virtual Art Exhibition' Video we are making, you can email a photo of your artwork to Mr Boyle, you can give me a sneak peek if you want by sending me a photo on Seesaw!! 😁 Some children have sent photos of their artwork already and they look amazing! 🎨🖌️✏️✂️

  • I'd recommend continuing with any reading you're doing and continuing to revise  multiplication tables CLICK HERE FOR AN ONLINE GAME TO PRACTISE YOUR MULTIPLICATION TABLES, we've done loads of learning and revising of tables in 3rd and 4th class, so it's up to you to decide what tables you need to work on! You can send me a note on Seesaw to give me an update on what you've been reading!
You could always make a video giving a review of what you've read, or even an update on the other activities you've been getting up to, it's a nice activity for practising your oral language skills!! 

 Coding Ireland & Scratch

  • Finally, for any children interested in computers and/or coding, Coding Ireland has free lessons for children (1st - 3rd class) & (4th - 6th class). You can have a look at the beginner lessons by CLICKING HERE. 
  • You can also take part in their Weekly Beginner Challenge where it teaches you how to do cool little coding projects that can be entered into weekly competitions where you can win a Microbit Circuit Board Computer. (Advanced Weekly Challenge is also an option!) Challenge details can be found by CLICKING HERE, as well as video tutorials for children new to coding! Let me know if you give it a try, good luck!! 😊🤞🏼
  • Set up a Scratch account by CLICKING HERE. 

In summary, some ideas for Thursday 7th & Friday 8th:
You do not need to do any of the above, but if you decide to, you can let me know what you tried on Seesaw!

If you have any questions you can ask me on Seesaw!
Talk to you all soon

Active HOME Week 2020



National ‘Active SCHOOL Week’ takes place at the end of April/beginning of May every year and is a really enjoyable part of the school year for many children.
This year, because of COVID-19, it is not possible for this to go ahead, but you can still participate in the ‘Active HOME Week’ Challenge instead!🎉

As we are giving suggested curriculur work only on Thursday (7th May) and Friday (8th May) this week, we are encouraging you to take part in the ‘Active HOME Week’ Challenge (4th May - 10th May) this week as well!! 
Image of Exercise Chart
Exercising with your family is a great way to use some of this time that you're not in school! The challenge is: every day you try to complete four activities, which adds up to 60 minutes (or more) of physical activity a day!

 Here is the chart that can be filled in, but you could just draw your own in your copy!

Remember to check out the Scoil Cholmcille Website and the Active Flag Website for more ideas.




Active Home Week Challenge Ideas
Active Flag have created  a Word Cloud of Ideas for different physical activities you could do!





Remember to stay safe and within 2km of your home!
Below is an example of activities you could do each day! Remember, the idea is to do four activities a day that add up to 60 minutes of physical activity!

Work for Week of 27th April - 1st May 2020

Here is the suggested work for my class for the week of the 27th of April. Like last week, there's an outline of work on a timetable below and links to each day's work at the end of this post.

 You're all working so hard at your school work, as well as so many children being helpful at home, being creative and getting out and being active. You're an incredible bunch!! 😁

 If you manage to get any of the work done this week, you can show me on Seesaw. Any questions, ask me on Seesaw as well!

 For anyone who didn't get in to the school at the end of March to collect a pack with an Earthlink Book and a Treasury D Book, I have uploaded scans of the pages, just click on the links to view them.

 Have a great week!

Ms Cormican 🌻
