Hi everyone,
Thanks again for all the great work that is being done at home, both on Seesaw and in the children’s books. I really appreciate the effort that everyone is making.
Below is a suggested scheme of work. As always there is no pressure to complete all of this work. Do as much as you are able for and in any order that you like. Ms. O’Sullivan and I will continue to put activities on Seesaw each day but this can be done whenever you like. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at mslanigansnc@gmail.com or msosullivansnc@gmail.com.
Kind regards,
Miss Lanigan.

Busy at Maths Chapter 19: Fractions 2
The book can be accessed on the CJFallon website. The link for the website is as follows:
Click ‘student resources’, then filter to the class (Third Class), subject (maths) and title you require (Busy at maths), making sure ‘Online Book’ is selected under ‘Resources’. This will display the book.
The interactives (resources, click interactives) can be used to aid in understanding in what is expected and has some activities to do. They match with the page of the maths book.

There are plenty of ideas for P.E. on this webpage https://www.weareteachers.com/virtual-pe-classes/

SPHE
Did you know that we are sometimes very mean to ourselves? We often say things to ourselves that we would never say to anyone else, especially if we haven’t done well at something or if we are worried about something. Maybe you’ve said things like ‘I’m so stupid’ or ‘Why am I not as good as ——-’. This is very bad for our well-being as it can make us feel bad about ourselves? We need to say kinder things to ourselves instead!
Look at the activity on Seesaw for being kinder to ourselves.
Music
Continue to practise tin whistle tunes.
