5th Class Ms. O’Connor
27th April – 1st May
Hi Parents,
I hope you are all keeping well and safe. I understand this is a very challenging
time and that the well-being of you and your children is paramount. I would like
to remind you that the work I am suggesting can be treated as a menu to choose
from rather than a list to be completed. There are no deadlines for the work and
the girls can work through it at their own pace.
I would emphasise the importance of a daily timetable. We understand that
children may get up much earlier, and go to bed later than is suggested below!
This is simply an example:
Time Activity
9.00am-10.00am Out of bed, play and get dressed
10.00am-10.30am TG4 Cúla4 Ar Scoil
10.30am-11.00am Breakfast, tidy up and household jobs
11.00am-12.00pm RTE Home School Hub on RTE2
12.00pm-1.00pm School work
1.00pm-2.00pm Lunch and play time
2.00pm-3.00pm School work
3.00pm-4.00pm Outdoor exercise time
4.00pm-5.00pm Creative time - reading, art, dance, music, drama, baking
5.00pm-6.00pm Project time: a time to work on a specific project like
writing a book, colouring, a specific project in an area of
interest etc.
6.00pm-7.00pm Help prepare dinner and tidy up
7.00pm-8.00pm Family activity time-board games, limited TV etc.
Below is a table of suggestions your child could complete at home. I have given a
mixture of RTE2 Home School Hub activities, online activities and practical
activities that do not require the use of internet/devices.
5th Class Ms. O’Connor
27th April – 1st May
English:
On Wednesday 29th April, watch RTE2
Home School Hub @ 11.00am. You will
learn about different types of poems.
Create your own Limerick poem.
Gaeilge:
Each morning from 10.00 – 10.30am,
TG4 has a home school programme
named ‘Cúla 4 Ar Scoil’
The theme this week on Cúla4 Ar
Scoil is clothes (éadaí)
Try to tune in each morning to learn
all about clothes in Irish
Irish words for the clothes we wear:
Éadaí = clothes
Bríste = trousers
Seaicéad = jacket
Cóta = coat
Lámhainní = gloves
Culaith spóirt= tracksuit
Culaith snámha = swimsuit
Gloiní snámha = goggles
Maybe somebody at home could call
out the English word and you say the
Irish word like the Irish game we play
in school.

sports activities, reading, writing in a
diary etc.
Active HOME Week
(April 27th – May 3rd)
National ‘Active SCHOOL
Week’ takes place every April and is a
really enjoyable part of the school
year for many children.
This year, because of COVID-19, it is
not possible for this to go ahead so
we are asking you to participate in
the ‘Active HOME Week‘ challenge
instead.
I have attached a PDF of the
Challenge Chart to the school
website and some activity ideas
below.
My email address is [email protected]. If you or your children have
any questions regarding the work or corrections, have pictures of some of the
activities they are doing or any news to share, please email me. If you or your
daughter would like me to call again to check in please let me know by email and
we can arrange a time that suits you.
Stay safe and well,
Ms. O’Connor
