Homework and STEM Week

Hi all,

The children's homework for this week has gone home in their homework folders. The spellings for this week are based on the soft g sound.  The maths and reading comprehension homework will be corrected on Friday and the spellings homework corrected daily.

Team teaching has started this week. Each child should get a new book each night to read for homework also.

Test copies will be sent home to be signed and returned by Thursday.

This week is STEM week. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and maths. The children will be completing STEM activities throughout the week. Today the classes had a science lesson with a parent from the school with lots of exciting experiments. STEM dress up day is this Friday. The children are encouraged to dress up in a STEM related outfit of their choice.

Many thanks,

Hannah and Claire

They also suggested videos of the children singing a song or doing a dance, or Easter cards/art etc , anything to cheer the residents up as they have had a no visitors policy for the last three weeks.   CareChoice said that they will print off the artwork that is sent to them and stick it up around the place for residents to see. They’re also making a book with all of the positive things that have happened during this so some of the pictures etc could go into that.  The email address is  hello@carechoice.ie   If you are willing to get involved, can you please put ‘To the staff and residen

Hi everybody, I hope you all enjoyed seeing each other on the end of year zoom call. The video I had prepared for you all that wouldn't work on the zoom call also won't upload to the blog unfortunately. But we can all watch it together when we are back in school! I have added some photos from the video to the post if you want to have a look at them.
