Happy Friday Everyone.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend. Enjoy the weather and have fun with your families. Thank you for all your hard work this week. I will talk to you again next week.

 Here are a few pictures of what some of you have been getting up to.It looks like you are all doing such lovely things at home and having great fun.

Eimear was very busy doing arts and crafts. They look lovely Eimear. I hope you tell me how to make them when we come back.

Sophia is definitely not getting bored. She has made her own den, with  fairy lights and all. It looks amazing Sophia.

Aimee and her sisters have been very creative with lots of arts and crafts for Easter and also going for walks on Granny and Grandad's farm.

Hello Third Class,

I hope you are all well and enjoying the fabulous weather. Remember to keep reading and doing your quizzes. I can see that lots of you have been busy so please keep up the great work.

Do you remember we learned about the plant robin-run-the hedge? It actually has lots of names, some people call it stickle back or goosegrass .It springs up in April and can grow quite high, it has little hooks that let it stick to anything close by.Keep an eye out for it. I found lots of it when I went for a walk today. We also found lots of primroses and daisies.

   I have mentioned the twinkl website before. It has lots of resources for every subject. I know lots of you in Third Class like Art and drawing. So if you go into twinkl.ie - 3rd/4th class section-visual art-how to draw?, you can find videos and step by step instructions for lots of different items e.g how to draw a unicorn/dinosaur/astronaut?

   I hope you all have a lovely day and please get in touch if you have any problems with the work or want to ask or show me something.

Green Schools

Mrs Dunne has asked if we can help with working towards the school’s Biodiversity and the Green School’s Committee, especially as the weather has been so good and we can get out and about. We can do this by keeping an eye out for native plants and animals that we have learned about in school. You could keep a little nature Diary of some of the birds you have spotted,record where and when you seen them and also some of the blossoms or leaves which are appearing now. I have seen so many primroses out now when I go for a walk and also on Easter Sunday there was a hare running around outside my house. Jack and Sophia reckon he was there to help the Easter Bunny deliver the eggs.

DEAR TIME: 20 minutes reading twice a day and remember to keep doing your quizzes.

Physical Exercise- make sure to get active everyday-60minutes per day- go for a walk/cycle your bike/practice your GAA or soccer skills, dance. I know some of you love to dance.


Also did anyone see the RTE school hub today? They were learning about the counties of Leinster. Remember just before we finished up we were trying to memorise the counties of Ulster. If you want to check out this lesson on the rte player if you missed it. It would be a good way to start learning a new set of counties.Remember Leinster is the province that teacher lives in, does anyone remember what county?

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all getting on okay with your school work, remember if you  need any help you can  contact me on ckeogh@killygarryns.ie
Here is a nice science lesson on plants from the rte hub if you would like to try it out.

    Welcome back everyone,
I hope you all had a lovely Easter and a nice break together. Below is an outline of the school work for this week. We will focus on the 3 core subjects of English , Maths and Gaeilge. The outline is split up day by day but you can do as much/little as you want each day.

 Also please remember to do your quizzes when you have finished reading a book. https://ukhosted92.renlearn.co.uk/6648402 The teachers can monitor these online and check in to see how you are getting on.

 If you have any  questions you can contact me on ckeogh@killygarryns.ie. I have sent an email to your parents explaining that we will be using the blog to update and outline your work each week and to be sure to contact me if you have any questions.

Hi everyone,
So if everything was normal, we would be getting our Easter Holidays from school today. So I want you  all to have a break, try and enjoy yourselves. Don't worry about school or homework. Appreciate all the wonderful things and people you have in your life. That is what is important.
Here is a reminder of my email address in case anyone wants to send me a letter/email/picture at any stage over Easter ckeogh@killygarryns.ie.

Reading

Over Easter, chill out, read and keep doing your quizzes, remember you can access them through the school website.https://ukhosted92.renlearn.co.uk/6648402.
Also incase you have finished reading your 3 books already check out the Accelerated reading free ebooks. Go to the school website homepage to see how to gain access.

Alternatively as libraries are closed the app Borrow Box is a free app that allows you to download up to 5 ebooks and 5 audio books at a time. All you need is a library card. If you don't have a library card-log in for free at librariesIreland.ie/join. You can then create a pin an download the Borrow Box app and download the books.

Also you might like to listen to a good book on Audible.

Perhaps you would like to try a bit of baking over Easter, here are a few websites that you might get some ideas on.

Another website you might want to check out is Designer Minds Daily Challenge-this is an Irish company providing STEAM activities for school children. They are now providing daily challenges using household products.

I will assign the next set of schoolwork after the Easter Holidays. I hope you all continue to be safe and well, talk to you all soon.
