To all our first class boys and girls,
We hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather and that you are getting lots of
fresh air and exercise. We hope that you all enjoyed your Easter eggs and we look
forward to hearing about them when we get back to school. We miss you all and
look forward to seeing you all again soon. Below is some work that you can do at
home. If you cannot print off the sheets just copy the work or write the answers
in a copy or sheets that you have at home. If you are finding the work too difficult
or you think there is too much work, do not worry. Just do the work that you are
able to do.
If you wish to contact any of the first class teachers please don’t hesitate to do
so. Our email addresses are:

● Continue reading a book at home for about 15 minutes a day. Make sure to ask an
adult at home to help with difficult words.
● Our Oral Language Theme is The Rescue Services. You could write a story about
what services you would need if you fell from a tree and broke your leg.
● We have attached some lists of words to help you with your spellings. See if you
can add to the lists and come up with more words with the ‘oi’ ,’oy’ and ‘or’ sounds.
● In grammar we are doing plurals adding ‘s’ and ‘es’.
● We have included two stories from the Starlight combined skills book. If you
collected the school books you can use the book.
● In maths, you would have been moving on to weight with Ms. Heneghan. Maybe
Mammy would let you use her kitchen scales to see the difference between
heavier and lighter items. you could also find things that weigh the same as 1kg for
example how many apples do you need to weigh a kg. Continue to learn your tables.
We have also included more sheets for you to work on addition and subtraction.
● In Gaeilge continue with the An Teilifís pages in your Bua na Cainte. This is a link
below to some Irish stories that you might like to listen to. It doesn't matter if
you don't understand all the words.
● We will be doing the uses of water and ways to save water in Geography. You can
fill in the worksheets attached.
● You can access Grow in Love on https://app.growinlove.ie/en/login use the email
[email protected] and password growinlove
● Go outside if you can and if the weather allows it. Don’t forget to stay 2 metres
(about the length of 2 school desks) away from others.
