Ní bheidh obairbhaile arís an tseachtain seo ach amháin aon duine atá ag déanamh 'Teach the Teacher'. Maith thú do gach duine ata tar éis é a dhéanamh.

There will be no homework again this week as we have a four day week, except anyone who is going to try 'Teach the Teacher'. Well done to those of you that have already done 'Teach the Teacher' and best of luck to those that have yet to do it.

I would like to remind anyone that has not yet returned their permission slip for the school tour and wish to join us for the school tour to return the permission slip as soon as possible. I can give a letter and permission slip to any pupil that needs one in school tomorrow.

Bain taitneamh as inniu ☀😎 Tá an lá go hálainn!

Aifrinn Speisialta do Rang a Dó (Teachtaireacht Tábhachtach)

# data[].attributes.body
Re: Aifrinn Speisialta R2 15ú, 16ú Eanáir 2022

Tá Monsignor agus Rev. Shane O’ Neill C.C tar éis an cinneadh a dhéanamh gan na hAifrinn Speisialta i gcomhair rang a dó agus a sé a chur ar siúl ag an dá deireadh seachtaine atá ag teacht, de bharr go bhfuil uimhreacha Covid chomh h-árd.
Bhí rang a dó le bheith acu ag an deireadh seachtaine seo chugainn (15ú/16ú Eanair), agus rang a sé an deireadh seachtaine ina dhiaidh sin (22ú/23ú). Ní bheidh na hAifrinn ullmhúchána seo ag dul ar aghaidh anois.

Rev. Shane O’ Neill C.C and Monsignor have made the decision that the Special Masses organised for both Rang 2 and Rang 6 will not take place due to the high numbers of Covid 19 at present.
Rang a 2 were due to have this mass on 15ú/16ú Eanáir. This preparatory Mass will not be going ahead as planned.

Go raibh maith agaibh go léir

Tá an aimsir ag éirí níos fuaire. Táimid fós ag coimeád na fuinneoga ar oscailt ar scoil de bharr COVID-19. Tá cead ag na páistí blaincéad nó níos mó éadaí (rud éigin te) a thógáil isteach agus a choimeád sa tseomra ❄️

The weather is getting colder. We are still keeping our windows open to allow sufficient air to circulate the room and also following the recommendations set out to schools in relation to COVID-19. As the weather is getting colder, pupils may bring in a blanket or something warm to remain in school for the time being. Pupils may also wear coats in class or extra clothes if they are cold 🥶

Le gach dea-guí,

Keep a record of the weather and signs of Spring

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Long before the advance of science and development of sophisticated means of measuring the weather, people have attempted to predict what conditions the near and long term future holds in store. Knowing what to expect has always been essential for the purpose of caring for animals and growing food, as well as trying to anticipate a particularly cold winter or dry growing season.

Over generations various natural indicators from the weather itself, atmospheric conditions or the behaviour of animals have been identified by people around the world that they believe give an indication of weather to come.

For example if cattle lie down and refuse to go up hill to pasture this has been seen as an indication that stormy weather is approaching. Similarly if your cat sits or lies with her back to the fire you can expect a cold spell. The nursery rhyme line " A swarm of bees in May, is worth a load of Hay" suggests that if there are lots of bees about during the late spring then there will be good crop growth during the summer.

In the United States, the black and orange coloured woolly bear caterpillar has long been used to predict the severity of the coming winter. It is thought that the wider the black bands on the caterpillar's back are the harsher the winter will be.

While many of the traditional phrases and proverbs associated with weather prediction do not stand up to scientific scrutiny, some of them do seem to be useful for predicting what might happen over the next few hours. Some examples of these are below:

Sometimes a circle appears around the sun or the moon. This circle or halo is visible when the light from the sun or moon is passing through the ice crystals that form very high level cirrus and cirrostratus clouds in the sky. These clouds do not carry rain themselves but often come before a low pressure weather system that may bring rain with it. This saying may also appear in the following form: "When halo rings the moon or sun, rain's approaching on the run."

"When smoke descends, good weather ends." If the smoke from a chimney does not ascend into the sky but instead curls back down towards the ground this may indicate that there is a lot of moisture in the air and that a change in the weather for the worse may be due.

"Red sky at night shepherds delight. Red sky in the morning shepherds warning." This is one of the most common weather sayings, and it can often be proved true for the following reasons. Firstly, our weather systems generally come from a westerly direction. Secondly, the colour of the sky is caused by the light of the sun being split into different colours as it passes through the dust and water vapours that occur high in the atmosphere.

When we see a red sky in the evening this means that the sun's light is shining through a large amount of dust particles. This usually indicates good stable weather with high pressure coming from the west.

On the other hand, when the sky is red in the morning as the sun rises in the east, this may indicate that a good weather system has just passed to the east, to be followed by a pattern of less stable conditions.

We have been hearing a lot about climate change and global warming recently - but do you know what exactly is happening?

The earth is heated by long red rays of heat that enter our atmosphere from the sun. These rays bounce off the earth and are reflected back out into space through the atmosphere. If all the heat escaped back out we would be very cold indeed here on earth. However the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is able to hold on to enough heat to make life on earth possible. How warm the earth is depends on how much carbon dioxide there is in the atmosphere to hold on to the heat.

Two hundred years ago the measurement was 270 parts per million. Carbon dioxide is taken in by plants when they are growing. Their green leaves, in the presence of sunlight, are able to split the carbon dioxide molecule in the air. The plant takes in the carbon part and releases the oxygen part into the atmosphere. All plants are made of carbon - trees, for example, take a lot of carbon out of the atmosphere as they grow and keep it in their trunks and branches.

How does carbon get back into the atmosphere?

When the trees and plants die and rot away, the carbon in their trunks and branches is released back into the atmosphere. It is taken in when they are growing and released when they die and rot away - the Carbon Cycle.

However, not all plants rot away when they die. If the conditions are not suitable for decay, say because of lack of oxygen or because conditions are too acidic, then the dead plants will just stay there. We see this in Ireland today in our bogs. Turf is made from plants that lived two or three thousand years ago but could not rot when they died because conditions were not right. Turf is called a fossil fuel. Similarly coal, oil and natural gas are made from plants that lived millions of years ago - in the Carboniferous Era - but could not rot away because condition were not suitable. All the carbon they took in from the atmosphere when they were growing is still stored as coal, oil or gas in these deposits.

When timber or any of these fossil fuels is burnt, however, the carbon they contain is put back into the atmosphere by the burning process. Since the Industrial Revolution we have been burning vast quantities of coal, oil and gas and the amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere has increased. There is now 380 parts per million of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere - an increase of 40% over the last two hundred years. So more heat is being held by this Carbon Dioxide - known as greenhouse gas - because it acts like the glass in a greenhouse holding in the heat.

The world is warming up - what is called Global Warming - and it is causing climate change. The ten hottest years on record on earth have all happened since 1995, with 2005 being the hottest year since records began. Polar ice caps and glaciers are melting at a faster rate because of this increased temperature.

The planet is two thirds ocean and one-third land, so it doesn't heat up evenly. Wind patterns are altered and as a result times of rain and drought are affected. Ocean currents are affected too. In Ireland we are kept warmer than we should be by the Gulf Stream, a warm ocean current that comes to our shores from warmer waters in the South Atlantic. Directly across the Atlantic - Newfoundland, at the samer latitude as us, is kept colder than it should be by the Humbolt Current, which flows down past its coast from the Arctic Ocean. If climate change causes these currents to stop or change direction, Ireland could in fact get much colder.

Each PowerPoint has a few slides which you can share remotely from home using screen share, on a whiteboard in the classroom, on an IPAD (install the free PowerPoint app), on a laptop with PowerPoint installed.

Should you want to print this out you could do that by saving the PowerPoint as a PDF and then printing it.

For week one the PowerPoint starts with the character, moves onto vocabulary, then activities which only need paper and pencils. It ends with affirmations. This will change slightly each week. There are plans for 3 weeks worth of PowerPoints and that will be reviewed and extended if needed. You could add other activities or parents you could really focus the whole day on the PowerPoint and find other activities to do to compliment it. Check our free resources for additional resources.

We also have a printable pack with posters and worksheets and you will find the link within each PowerPoint.

So let's begin. You will find links added below the day before they are needed. The link will show as orange once active.

Don't worry if you find this post later than the 11th January you can always start the following Monday or begin at any day.

Féach ar seo agus bí ag smaoineamh ar fhoinsí solais - nádúrtha agus saorga. Take a look at this PPT and discuss the different types of light - both natural and artificial.

# data[].attributes.body
Téann solas tríd ábhair áirithe.
trédhearcach - transparent (light goes through the object)
teimhneach - opaque (light does not go through the object).
mo thuar - my estimation.
Estimate first and then check if you were correct.

# data[].attributes.body
Light travels at different speeds through different materials. When light moves from one material to another, the change in speed causes the light to bend. This bending is called refraction (athraonadh) a-rain-a
