2nd class teacher 2019/20 Nora Halpin
Hi Everyone,
Hope you are all doing ok. It’s wonderful to see all your pictures and posts on Instagram. I’m glad that you are enjoying the sunshine.
Parents please understand that I am unable to correspond with any child who communicates from an Instagram account in her/his name. Please ensure that the account is your own.
Hope that the mini-lessons are ok.
In the meantime, please continue with your writing from Read at Home & Léigh sa Bhaile.
A column from Mental Maths each day is no harm either.
We will do a creative writing activity on Friday, and I would love to read some of your stories.
Some other work that might keep you occupied is Operation Maths p.70-83 (Some of these sums are written horizontally, and you could write the sums vertically (going downwards) in your copy. There are some nice activities on 3D shape & problem solving on pgs. 90-95.
I will be posting clips on the strand unit of Money in the coming days.
It will be useful to have Operation Maths at home with you for some money-based learning.
Phonics this week focus on how the letters ‘are’ make the ‘air’ sound like share, care, dare etc. We will cover these blends on Instagram.
Please keep us posted with your farming, cycling, swimming, gardening, creative and funny pictures. They are so much fun.
Take Care,
Nora
