PUPIL WORK FOR Tuesday May 5TH TO FRIDAY MAY 15th 2020
Dear Parents.
I hope that you are all keeping well and safe and that everyone is in good health.
If you have any questions or queries related to school during this closure please email [email protected] and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Some of you have already been in contact. There is still no access to the school for parents but as soon as it will be possible for you to collect your childs books we will let you know.
Some of the children may not have their books with them so we are using some free online books in their place. We would suggest that much of this work should be done in a separate or spare copy if possible. The teachers can then correct this when the children return to school. Most of the free ebooks that we are using are available at https://my.cjfallon.ie/dashboard/student-resources. You have to enter any valid email address but after that all the books you need will be free to use.
Under Level Tick Primary - Then Tick your Class - Next Tick the Subject - Now Tick the Series – Then Tick the Title - Finally make sure Online Book is selected on the right of the screen. All you have to do then is click the eye symbol beside the book name and it will open on screen. This will work on a laptop/smartphone/ipad etc…..and is totally free. You do need to provide an email address to get started.
The block of work listed below is from Tuesday April 5th to Friday May 15th.

Hello boys,
Hope you & your family are still keeping safe & took a break from work over the Easter holidays. We are sure you are really missing your friends at this stage but if we all continue to “Stay Home” then hopefully we will get to see each other soon.
We hope you are helping out at home too J doing chores for Mam, helping out with younger siblings & doing your school work as best as you can. If you find some parts too hard, that’s ok, just skip onto the next part.
Below is a list of work and ideas for 2 weeks.
Please follow this link to the CJ Fallon website where all the books can be accessed for free.

Plan of Work for fortnight beginning Tuesday May 5th to Friday May 15th
Dear 6th Class pupils and Parents,
I really hope you are all keeping well everyone is doing OK working from home. The weather has been really good so that has certainly helped. Do your best with the work I have set and if you are stuck on anything, just skip it for now.
Gaeilge – For anyone who had any problems logging into Folens the following instructions should help. 1) Log onto folensonline.ie 2) Register as a teacher 3) Provide a username, email address and password 4) For School Roll Number type Prim20.
This fortnight we are looking at “Tubáistí Nádúrtha.” Take the time to go through the foclóir, listen to the scéal online and answer the Questions orally, like we would do in class. When you feel comfortable with this, then open your Abair Liom book on Lth 108 (or ebook from the website) Read through the story and attempt the questions if you feel able.
Listen to the comhrá online and then read Lth 110. Attempt Activity D. The listening exercise from Lth 111 can be accessed on the website under Éist.
The dán for this theme is An Fear Bocht and the amhrán is Báidín Fheilimí.
This fortnight we are continuing with A. Fháistineach (Neamhrialta = Irregular) We are focusing on Faigh (Get) – Gheobhaidh (will get)
Feic (See) – Feicfidh (will see)
Ith (Eat) – Íosfaidh (will eat) When you are familiar with these, try and do Activity G.
Lth 113 - this activity is quite tricky. Réamhaisnéis na haimsire (Weather Forecast) – if you wish to attempt this activity, use Page 162 to help you.
Teocht = temperature, tuaisceart = north, deisceart = south, iarthar = west, oirthear = east, conas = how, cá háit = what place/where.
Maths
Try and complete Mental Maths daily. If you do not have your book at home with you, log onto cjfallon.ie and under 6th Class Maths you will find Master your Maths 6.
Chapter 20 – Planet Maths (Chance) – we have completed a lot of probability questions over the year in Mental Maths. Try some of these and see how you get on. When you access the Planet Maths section on Folensonline.ie there are games available based on Chance.
Chapter 21 – (Money) Remember when you are adding/subtracting numbers with a decimal point, keep the decimal points under each other eg. €4.25
+ €6.19
€10.44
Do what you can from the chapter, if you find anything too hard, please just concentrate on your Mental Maths.
English
Reading Zone Unit 21 (Alien Visitors) and Unit 22 (Smart Ice-cream) Read the story and complete Activities A-E.
Cjfallon.ie - if you have not already registered you will need an email address to register. Click on Primary, 6th Class, English, A Way with Words. Open the online book on Pages 88-91. Complete the activities on Tom Crean, Adjectives and Adverbs. NB: if you are having difficulty seeing the book go through the following steps to make it Full Screen.
Spellings can be accessed from www.folensonline.ie - Unit 24 (Commonly Misspelled Words) and Unit 25 (-ary, -ory words).
History – Chapter 10 The Easter Rising. Read about the events that lead up to the Rising and about the people that were involved. Complete the Activities in History Quest. Do some research to find out what link Mervue has with the Easter Rising. There are excellent resources available on www.twinkl.ie. These range from Powerpoints, Cloze Procedures and colourful posters. We would normally study the Rising under the following headings – Timeline of Events, Buildings, Women of the Rising, 7 Signatories. Choose one leader to study and do a mini project based on this.
Geography – Geography Quest 6 – Chapter 13 Africa. Study Africa under the following headings – Countries, Mountains, Rivers, Population, Climate, Flags. Spend time on the activities from Chapter 13.
Science – staying with the topic Electricity, there are really good videos on Youtube showing how to construct circuits.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOFp8bHTN30
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSukRnxGy5c
PE – try and make sure you are all getting enough exercise every day. How about setting yourself a challenge to do 10,000 steps in a day and then trying to beat this. There are lots of PE activities available online (Joe Wicks, TJ Reid) so feel free to try them out.
Remember this is just a guide. The most important thing right now is that you and your families stay safe. Complete what you are able to. I miss you all and look forward to seeing you all when it is safe to do so. Take care,
Sharon Myers

PE – try and make sure you are all getting enough exercise every day. How about setting yourself a challenge to do 10,000 steps in a day and then trying to beat this. There are lots of PE activities available online (Joe Wicks, TJ Reid) so feel free to try them out.
Remember this is just a guide. The most important thing right now is that you and your families stay safe. Complete what you are able to. I miss you all and look forward to seeing you all when it is safe to do so. Take care,
