Homework Note Week 21

Post date: 07-Feb-2016 23:32:08

Dear Parents,

Thank you for your continued support with the Healthy Lunches. I will encourage the children to eat these and continue to give a prize to children who are making a great effort with that. There are some photos of our visit to St. Brigid’s well on the school website. As part of our activities around Easter 1916 in the school I’ve included a page from the school roll book in October 1916. Our class will be discovering what a classroom was like it in 1916. We intend to explain to visitors what a class was like in 1916. Again, if you have any ideas, props or clothes that would help us please let me know.

Word Wallet activities.

Jolly Phonics – We are learning the alternative ways to spell some of the sounds /y/ (sunny), /ea/, /igh/, /ow/ (cow) /ew/, /ir/, /ur/, /au/, /aw/, /al/, /oy/, ) /ow/ (snow)

This week we are working on the “oa” sound but spelt as /ow/.

Please get the children to make up the following words. 3 per night

snow, bow, row, know, blow, low, grow, tow, slow, crow, glow, yellow

Tricky Word activities. – Children will continue learning/revising the Tricky Words. We are on the red List 4 now. See the Tricky words prezi on our class website. We use this in class to practice.

1. Match the coloured card to its place on the white card. (Place the “they” on top of the white “they”)

2. Say the word.

3. Ask the children for a sentence with at least 2 tricky word in it. (Who saw that they were lost.)

Our Aistear theme is still the building site. We are still learning about time. There are 2 more online Studyladder activities to complete if possible.

Thanks

Mr. Gleeson.
