Work for 1st & 2nd Class Mon. 25th - Fri. 29th May

Good Morning All!

I think we are set to have another week of warm sunny weather ahead, I hope everyone is making the most of it! Please give a go at the work I am setting below, if it is proving to be too much, take a break & come back and try again another time. Very little will be learned/gained in a stressful environment so take breaks when needed. Again I would encourage you to make reading a priority – there is a lot to be said for even sitting in the garden with a good book. For extra reading material, sign into “Epic!” – A perfect opportunity to use screen time to support your child’s learning.

• English:
• 1^st Class: Word Wise: Unit 17 pg.66 - 69

Reading: https://www.folensonline.ie/ Reading Zone

• 1^st Class The Four Friends pg. 26 – 36 (2 pages a day & 3pages Friday)
• 2^nd Class The Grumpy Teaspoon pg36-38 & pg40-42 (Janosik & Danny Digs In)

These stories have accompanying activities on pg39/43 – if your child is looking for additional work please give them a go – otherwise just reading the stories is satisfactory. 

• Jolly Grammar pg. 64/65
• Handwriting (Big book) pg. 47 – 50
  • The small handwriting book can be used at your own discretion, moving forward I will only be assigning work from the bigger workbook.

• Maths:

• 1^st Class – Busy at Maths pg. 128, 129, 130, 131, 132
• 2^nd Class – Busy at Maths “Capacity” pg. 144 - 147

**Please note: I will be not be assigning certain chapters from Busy at Maths as they include concepts that can be quite tricky and I would prefer that the children are taught these during “face-to-face” class time. These chapters will be covered thoroughly when the children get back to school so please do not worry about them falling behind. The chapters that will be covered in the next school year are:

1^st class: Addition 5 (pg.142 – 149) - addition with regrouping (carrying tens)

2^nd class Subtraction3 & Subtracion4 (pg.136-138 & 152-155) – subtraction with renaming

Golden NS teaches sunbtraction differently to the examples laid out in the workbook so please ignore these chapters as your child will be using the borrow/payback method.

• Gaeilge:
  • Bua na Cainte pg. 68, 69, 70, 71
  • Bí ag cleachtadh na nathanna simplí seo:
