Roald Dahl Day
We celebrated Roald Dahl's birthday on September 13th. We learned all about his life, where he grew up, where he wrote his books and what books he wrote. The whole class read The Twits and we are currently reading James and The Giant Peach :-) For art we drew a portrait of Roald Dahl. We sketched his portrait step by step and they turned out really well!

Welcome Back!
Welcome back everyone! I hope you all had a lovely and safe Christmas. Unfortunately, it looks like we wont be back at school until at least February. Fingers crossed we will all be back in the classroom soon together again learning and having fun! I understand it will be a challenge doing school work from home. It will be a bigger challenge for your parents as they will be working from home, looking after you and your families and making sure you put in the work.
I will be uploading school work everyday for you to complete on seesaw. Try your very best, I know you all are able to work independently! If it is a case you get stuck, ask someone at home. If you do get overwhelmed stop and move on to the next subject. The work is meant to keep you guys engaged and learning not to upset you. Remember you can do anything you put your mind to! When in doubt think of the word YET! I can't becomes not YET!
Ms. Farrell will be working with her children so there is no need for you guys to do the main class work!
If you have any questions I will be available on my email mentioned above during school times. I will do my best to get back to you as soon as I can.
Stay safe and be good :-)

Ms. Boylan

There will be change and we will see our families and friends again soon. We need to keep positive! Go for the little walk, Draw and write those comics, spend time with people who make you feel good. Also remember to talk to someone about how you are feeling. We are all feeling lots of emotions right now and that is completely normal too. Why not have some circle time at home like we do in class, use a speaking object and discuss your feelings. Imagine you are back in the classroom and we are having our little discussions. As I always say a problem shared is a problem halved! I promise this will help :-)

Dear parents, Please click the link below to find some suggested activities to complete with your child during distant learning. I know these are challenging times, and upon our return to school rest assured that I will work closely with your children to help them to revise important concepts and remind them of work they may have forgotten. Even completing one or two of these activities daily would be an excellent way of developing your child’s maths skills, and help keep them in a routine. Please feel free to email me (sinead.farrell@stoliversprimary.ie) if you want any more activities, help or support, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Most importantly, stay safe, look after each other, and make lots of memories of this time at home.
Kind regards, Sinéad Farrell.

Thanks to all the children and parents who have been working so hard at home. To all the parents who have access to seesaw thank you for uploading the work. I know the situation we are in is very complicated. I understand that some parents are working from home too which makes it even harder to get the work done. Do not feel pressured to get everything done. Do what you can and what your child benefits the most from. Keep safe everyone!
Kindest regards,
Ms. Boylan
THANK YOU!
Thanks to all the children and parents/ guardians who uploaded work onto the new Seesaw account. I really enjoyed reading the tasks and watching the videos. I'm so proud of you all! Keep it up! I look forward to seeing your next pieces of work.

How can I make learning spellings more fun? Find the word Look to see if you can see a small word inside your word. E.g. where, friend. Jumbled letters Write your word on paper, cut each letter and put the word back together. Look, say, cover, visualise, write, check √ Look at the word √ Say it out loud √ Cover the word √ Visualise the word (imagine a picture of it in your head) √ Write the word from memory Matching pairs Find matching pairs of words with a spelling pattern in. E.g. train/rain Word painting Draw the word in chalk and brush over it with a wet paintbrush. Hangman Play hangman with a partner, using the words you are learning. Rainbow words Break the word down into syllables and write each part in a different colour. Bubble writing Write the word in bubble writing and write inside it. Tracing Write your word down 3 times and trace over it in different colours. Mnemonic Write a mnemonic to remind you of the spelling. The first letter of each word in the sentence spells the word. E.g where: what has everyone really eaten? Word shape Draw around the shape of the word and try to remember the shape of the word. Rhymes and pictures Use rhymes or pictures to go with words to help them remember. 1. You hear with your ear 2. The word separate has "a rat" in it (separate). 3. Donkeys, monkeys - There are keys in donkeys and monkeys. 4. The word here is also in its opposite there. 5. Villain - A villain is one who lives in a villa. Internet games Search online for word games to practise words. E.g. www.funbrain.com/spell/ Musical spellings Make up a short rhyme or song to remember spellings or rules for spellings. Spelling tennis One person starts with a letter, the other adds one until a word is made. The last person to add a letter wins. Spell jumps Jump up and down on a trampoline or skip whilst saying each letter of your word you are spelling. |
