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.
• Bill’s New Frock: Read chapters 3 and 4 and answer these questions

• Cad a cheap Learaí a bhí mí-cheart leis?

Seachtain ag tosnú ar 6ú Aibreáin

Dia dhaoibh go léir. Bímse ag smaoineamh oraibh gach lá agus tá súil agam go bhfuil cúrsaí go maith.

I had some feedback from parents during the week, all of it very helpful. Please do not worry about getting work done. You have your own work to do and, usually, more than one child to look after – nobody can multitask to that extent. The accompanying list is to help you at home, not to add to your stress.

 I have been looking at the RTÉ school hub each day and I think the bulk of the activities   (bar the Senior Maths on Thursday) could be done by the children. Worksheets can be downloaded each day at www. rte.ie/learn   which revise what has been done. What I like about these lessons is that they cover History, Geography and Science – all interesting in their own right. If you can’t download them let me know and I will forward them to you. As far as I can see they cannot be downloaded beforehand.

Ár gcuid oibre féin:

• Spellbound : Week 30  Continuing with ‘k’ endings
• Work It Out: Week 28
• Seaimpín na dTáblaí: Seachtain a 28
• Gafa le Mata: lch 146, 147. Ideally, these pages would be completed in the kitchen with the children using appropriate glasses, bowls, jugs, ladles and pots. It’s all about giving them a ‘feel’ for the volume of a litre. It may interest them to know that a litre of water weighs exactly one kilogram and a millilitre of water weighs one gram.
• Bunlitriú  Seachtain 26 Some parents have decided not to ask the children to write the words in a sentence – that’s fine.
• Bill’s New Frock:  Read the second chapter and answer these questions

• Cad É Sin?

Keep re-reading and read up to leathanach a 11. What we want to do here is maintain fluency of reading. Try to add an extra page each day for 4 days.

• Ord an Aifrinn ( Céad Chomaoineach)  Keep practising the ‘Admhaím do Dhia’ and look at Column C for the Kyrie Eleison:  A Thiarna déan trócaire

The above list is what I would really like you to try to do. If you get that much done and the children watch the School Hub you all will have accomplished a lot! Remember to add some physical activity – you can get ideas from last week’s list of gníomhaíochtaí. The children all enjoyed colouring the mandalas in school during the year so some of those can be printed off for ‘Am Suaimhneach’.

• Toyota are running a weekly art competition : recreate Ireland and Toyota.ie
• Minecraft Store has 12 educational games for free
• I am also posting a letter from Twinkl

Photographs of accomplishments can be sent to me and Múinteoir Áogán will put them on the school website : www.gaelscoilchnocliamhna.ie   Have a look and see who is there already! They don’t have to be connected to schoolwork. Show everyone what you are doing at home ….photos of children only with parental permission.
