Hannah's Class: Geography project

Hi all,

The children will be completing a project over the next 2 weeks on a given Climate type (Polar, Temperate, Arid, Tropical, Mediterranean.) They will be given time during school to research facts on their climate type. I will go through the layout of their projects and what is to be expected from each child.

I will be sending an a2 sheet of paper home with them on Thursday and from next week onward, they will be expected to complete project work as homework in addition to their spellings and maths. The project work will account for their reading homework as they will be researching and reading facts online.
I do not expect the children to spend more than 5-10 minutes on their project each night. I want them to enjoy the researching and learning involved and I do not want anyone to get stressed!
I will be giving more information to the kids about the projects over the next few days. I will also post a list of suitable and useful websites to gather information from, over the next few days.

They will be presenting their projects in class on the 13th of 14th of February :)

If you have any other questions, please let me know!

Thanks a million,
Hannah

CareChoice suggestion

Hi all, Recently, we reached out to CareChoice nursing home to see if there was anything we could do to cheer up the residents during this lonely time. They said that the best way to make contact and cheer up the residents at the moment would be to get the children to make a card, draw/paint a picture, make a piece of art etc and get parents to take a picture and email it to them. 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. They are all memories from 1st class 😊 Thank you all so much for your engagement with Seesaw over the past few months. I can't wait to see everyone in August for 3rd class! I hope you all have the best summer! Many thanks, Claire
