Can you remember what sound 'or' makes?
Can you think of 3 words that have the 'or' sound?
Now you will need someone to read the story below to you. You need to listen carefully for the 'or' sound in words. If you hear the 'or' sound in the story put your hands in the air.
Maybe you will have to hear the story 2 times but see if you can remember 3 words with the 'or' sound and comment below!

Last week for our Science we worked with water and did a floating and sinking experiment. This week we are going to use water but we are testing the capacity of different objects. Watch teacher do a few examples below. Then go around your kitchen and find some things to test. If it is sunny you could go out the back and do it in the garden- less mess to tidy up!
Just remember the most important thing is to guess how many containers full first. Let me know how you get on!

# data[].attributes.body
Now we know how to write all our tall letters l,t,h,b and k.
Today we are going to learn a new letter. Our new letter is 'i' and 'i' is a small letter so it will fit in between two lines.
Click on the video below to learn how to make the letter 'i'.

Then you can print off the page below or write the letter 'i' in your copies. Can you think of some words that begin with the letter 'i'. Could you write them too?

Today we are going to start the week with writing our news from the weekend.
In your copy you can write the sentence
Today is Monday.

After that you can write your very own sentence. It can be about the weekend/ your favourite thing to do/your favourite toy. You can write about anything. Try your best to sound out the words and write your own sentence. Think about what letter each word starts with and try writing it yourself. You could also draw a picture of your news.

We would love to see all the sentences that you can write. You can email us a picture of them if you like!

# data[].attributes.body
Before we do any writing today let's do another hand warm up. In the video they use play dough for the warm up but you can use a small ball or you can just pretend to hold something in your hand.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrBsNhwxzgc

Now don't forget to hold your pencil properly! Our new letter for writing today is the letter 'j'.
The rhyme for 'j' is:

straight down, curly tail, and give him an eye on top.

Watch the video below to see me try it. Now you can try to write the letter 'j' in your copy or you can print the page. Don't forget to say the rhyme as you write.

Now that you have done plenty of practise above counting backwards. We are going to chat about the numbers that come before particular numbers.

Remember if we are very good at counting backwards it is very easy to know the number that comes before a number.

I have a video linked below. You are going to play against the computer now in a 'Number Before' game.(they call it 'one less' in the video)
Each time the video calls out a number, I want you to shout out the number that comes before that number. Try and answer before the computer does. The numbers from 1-10 are up infront of you on the screen to help! Let me know how you get on in the comments below.

This video is a bit trickier today as you don't have the numbers up infront of you to help you. Give it a go and see how you get on. Remember shout out the number that comes before Jack's number! So if Jack says '5'....the number before it is....'4'

In this lesson we are talking all about our Baptisms.
Have a chat at home about your Baptism. Chat about what who was there, what you were wearing, how they picked your name etc. You might even have some photos at home that you could take out and have a look at.

Most of us don't remember our Baptism so click into the video on the Grow in Love link to watch a baptism.

Now draw a picture of you and all the people that were there on the day of your Baptism.
Here are pictures of Iníon Uí Thuama and Iníon Uí Bhriain on the day of their Baptism...can you guess who is who?
