Spellings for this week

Hi all,

I hope you are keeping well. I know a few of you joined in on Joe Wick's live PE lesson this morning, which is great!

For this week, we ask that the children continue on with their revision work booklets and SESE project. There are other useful resources for PE, mindfulness etc on the blog too!

We would really appreciate if you could practise the following spellings (revision of recent sounds covered in class) with your child this week and test them on Friday. It is encouraged to use the 'look, cover, write, spell, check' method while practising the spellings.


1. join
2. spoil
3. royal
4. found
5. crowd
6. flower
7. form
8. pork
9. fifty
10. sixty

Activities you could do to practise spellings at home
  • Geraldine the Giraffe videos on youtube going through the different sounds (oi, oy, ow, or)
  • Sound hunt: go around the house/outdoors and find items which include the sounds.
  • Dictation: call out sentences, using the spellings for this week. e.g. 'I found a beautiful purple flower amongst the crowd of daffodils.' 
  • Bingo with the spellings for this week.
If you have any questions/queries, please let us know.

Take care,
Hannah and Claire

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

Assembly Friday 28th Feb (Hannah's Class)

Hi all, I hope you had a lovely break! This week is our assembly and we are focusing on the theme of teamwork mixed with Literacy week. The children have been given their lines/drama groups so I ask that they start practising each night. The chosen song for the assembly is 'We're all in this together' by High School Musical cast. I will be giving out the lyric sheets tomorrow and if the children can start learning the song (chorus and 1 verse) from tomorrow on, that would be great! If you have any other questions, please let me know :) Hope to see you all there! Thanks a mill, Hannah
