It has been an exciting week as we welcomed two new pupils to our class: Santanna and Marissa.
Below is a list of what we covered this week, along with some suggestions for what can be done at home to support your child's learning. Click on the links to view the sites. Even just 10 minutes per day would be so beneficial.
Maths
This week we finished working on Fractions, with a focus on quarters and halves. Continue to use any of the three websites below to practice Fractions at home.
- Daily 10: Linked here, we do this every morning in our class as a maths warm up. We usually select Level 2 - Addition - 15 seconds, but feel free to explore the many other options available, particularly for Fractions.
- Wordwall fractions activities: Some may be difficult but all are beneficial. Click here to view quizzes related to our new learning.
- Topmarks search: Click here and use the search box to find activities for 2nd class related to fractions so that your child can revise what we covered so far this month.
Literacy
- Brochure Writing: This week we researched the country of Spain on our Chromebooks and we created brochures. Ask your child about what they have learned. I encourage pupils to create a brochure for a country of their choice at home this coming week.
- Grammar: I found a website, linked here, with many fun adjective games to try called Turtle Diary.
Gaeilge
Here's a quiz revising Irish verbs that we have been doing under the theme of Caitheamh Aimsire (hobbies): linked here. We have begun the theme of An tEarrach (Spring) this week.
Holy Communion
For pupils receiving their First Holy Communion in May, I encourage you to practise the "Our Father" prayer this weekend.
Congratulations to our pupils of the week, Toby and Balqiis.
