What a beautiful day everyone. I hope you can go out into your garden and enjoy it. In addition, I’d you can do some of the following:
Maths – Remember we were working on maps and spatial awareness. I hope that you can put some of the skills we practised into place and draw a map of your house. Include all the rooms downstairs and if you live in a two storey house, I’d love to see a second map with it. It should look something like the map below. Include colour:-) Please email me a photo of your work so we can post some on our school facebook page. Our class email for you to use is rathlin@stbrigids.net
Lego – I’m sure most of you have lots of lego bricks at home. For this challenge I’d like you to build your dream home. When you have built your dream lego house, please take a photo and email to rathlin@stbrigids.net Some images below for inspiration.

Hi Rathlin, I hope you are all as happy as the two little guys above. I’m sure you’re all helping out at home and doing what you’re asked.
I’m staying in my house or garden. I’m washing my hands A LOT. When I go for a sort walk, I make sure to stay 2m away from anyone I’m passing by. These things are really important right now and I know you all want to make good choices and do the right thing as well.
I’m getting to grips with this website and I’m going to be posting things n it regularly. I hope to give you a few ideas for things you can do at home.
We now have a class email and for some of the things I will ask you to do, it would be brilliant if you could email me photos and we can try and flood our facebook page with photos of your work.
Our very own class email is : rathlin@stbrigids.net
Here is the Good Morning song the children and I sing every morning in school. It might be nice if you could play it with your child and get them to join in singing and/ or signing!
Again, if you have any questions, would like some support or would like to share videos or photos with me, please email red@stbrigids.net. – S. Donlon
Hello boys and girls in Class Red. Hope you are all having lots of fun, playing lots and are keeping safe at home. Missing you all! If parents have any questions or would like support with anything, please email me red@stbrigids.net, I’d be more than happy to try and help. I’d also love to see pictures of the activities you’ve been getting up to with your families!
With the beautiful weather we have been getting, a lovely outdoor learning activity is decorating your name using different materials you can find outside (either in your garden or a safe outdoor space). Collect different materials and then stick them onto your name on a page – see my example.
Here are a few more ideas of activities you can get up to during the week, only IF you have similar materials at home.
Explore using a fork and paint to make prints.
Practice sticking and for some, cutting skills by sticking different coloured pieces of paper onto a fish or any simple design.
Using paper plates to create dinosaurs and tropical fish.
I hope you and your families are all well and keeping busy.
The following work is for this week. It may take you longer and go over into next week. That’s fine. Remember, pace yourself and don’t bust yourself!
NOW… let’s talk a little bit about keeping busy.
A Keeping Busy Schedule
The following schedule is from the Irish Educational Psychology Service. You don’t have to follow it exactly but it is a good starting point.
The idea is that even though we are not in a school routine at the moment we should try to make apositive home routine for ourselves. Please download the schedule for yourselves. If you can, print it out and fill it in. Try and stick to a daily routine. It’s good for the head! 😁
Now, of course, none of you would dream of it… So here’s some more work to fill the ‘school-work’ parts of your busy days!
For Aaron, Ann-Marie, Michelle and Anthony…
Unfortunately due to the Government’s new restrictions, I can’t get work-packs out to you at the moment Aaron, Ann-Marie, Michelle and Anthony because the school is closed. So I have included some online links to free websites to keep you going. (The last one is a Document and is only of use to you if you can print it out. Otherwise, leave it.)
The following website is National Geographic Kids and it is full of lovely pictures of animals and places. There are games and quizzes too. Browse away!
This website is for maths! You have to set up an account so get someone to help. It takes a few days to register. Select work at around the 7 to 9 years of age folks!
This is the Document I told you about. You can Download it but be careful not to hit print on the whole booklet because its over 30 pages long! If you can, print out a few pages every now and then…
For Adam, Conor, Craig, Cumar, Dean, Niall and Patrick.
Before we begin gentlemen, do feel free to browse one or two of the links above.
Yes, indeed…
Right…
This next link is to an audiobook website called Scribd. You usually have to pay to listen to their books but they are offering 30 days free for the moment.
Click the following link and it will bring you to an audio telling of a truley classic tale written by American author, Ernest Hemmingway. It is a story about an old man going to sea to fish. It is about being on your own and yet rising to the challenge in front of you. Written in a simple but powerful style we learn about the old fisherman, about his life and what drives him to never give up no matter how hard the situation.
This next site is also for audio books. It’s called Audible and is free for as long as schools are closed. I have no particular recommendation from it so browse away.
Now to business. This next link is to a Level 3 free online maths book. Though challenging enough, the book is laid out and explained well. To begin with I only want you to try chapter 1 which is about statistics- a subject very relevant for the current times.
This last link is a download of a Word document I want you to complete. Save it in your Dalkey Work folder on your Desktop. Complete the work in the document and hit the quick save icon as you work through it.
The association of Teachers of Home Economics is running a photo competition . HOME ECONOMICS AT HOME 2020 .They want you or someone in the house to take a photo of you capturing cooking/baking/sewing/fabric care/well being/consumer studies/healthy living/family &community.
