Scéal scríbhte ag Seán:

A Freezing Umbrella invents a rocket to go to Pluto.

It was a cold dark cloudy day in the west of Ireland, wet, freezing and miserable. 

This is a story of a freezing umbrella. Everyday in the rain. All winter, all summer. Staring at clouds. Big dark clouds. His current life is the worst any umbrella could imagine. He wasn’t even brought inside! We are going to go in to this story now where his destiny lies. 

Once he was staring through a sitting room window he saw a TV, something special was happening on it , a rocket blasting to Mars. He found his way to leave this world. He was heading for NASA. 

He travelled by train, taxi, Uber and plane. A long journey but worth it. He snook into the rocket going to Pluto. Four weeks later it landed and he realised he had no spacesuit. The hatch opened and the umbrella went out into space. 

This umbrella’s journey was his destiny, now his fate.

As you can see not every story ends happily. THE END.

Dia dhaoibh! Tá súil agam go bhfuil gach duine go maith agus gur bhain sibh taitneamh as an aimsir álainn. Léigh mé seo i rith na seachtaine:

‘Working, parenting,and teaching are three different jobs that cannot be done at the same time. It’s not hard because you’re doing it wrong. It’s hard because it’s too much. Do the best you can’  Emily W King Ph.D, Child Psychologist.

Mar sin, ní feidir linn ach ár ndícheall a dhéanamh. Bain súp as an dea-aimsir freisin!

Beidh ‘scoil’ ar TG4 dóibh siúd atá ag freastal ar scoil sa Ghaeltacht nó ar Ghaelscoil. Cúla4 ar Scoil  an t-ainm atá ar an gclár agus beidh sé ag tosnú ar an Luan ar a 10 a chlog ar maidin

Má tá deacracht ag éinne leis an Taisceadán Todhcaí a oscailt, cuirfidh mé chugaibh i bhfoirm PDF é.

Obair bhaile : Luan go Aoine

• Spellbound: Week 31. Words containing –ick and –ock. At the end of the list are two words beginning with nu-.
• Work It Out: Week 29
• Seaimpín na dTablaí: Seachtain a 29
• Bunlitriú: Téigh ar ais chuig Seachtain a 1 agus Seachtain a 2. Má tá tú ag scríobh abairtí, scríobh 3 abairt gach lá.
• Gafa Le Mata: lch 134, 135: Airgead. The first page is based on calculating the change from €2. It would be great if you could put the appropriate coins in front of the pupil. S/he would put aside the money due to the siopadóir and count the remainder. I’m not a big fan of asking the child to subtract the money formally in order to calculate the change. I think it is better grounding to ‘count on’ from what is due to the siopadóir.  Lch 135 is a ‘shopping’ activity. Again, start with the appropriate amount of money for the two items and count aloud. Writing the answer reinforces the idea that only € or c is used – not the two together. It’s been weeks since we used coins but we will again someday!
• Mata praiticiúil: If there’s a catalogue from Aldi or Lidl in the house, compose two shopping lists – My List, Daddy’s List, List for dinner etc. Comput the cost of the shopping. One other activity I would like to try is to take 10 random packets from the kitchen. Pricew each one unevenly i.e. 37c, 73c not  20c! Make shopping lists of three items at a time and compute the cost.
