​​TASK 4: Cooking
There may be no school, but we are ploughing ahead with our Incredible Edibles project!
Task 3 Planting/Growing, and Task 4: Preparing/cooking, can luckily be done from home!

No School? No Problem!
Gardening is great for well being and a distraction from the noise of the current news around us.
Task 3: Planting, should have been complete by this Friday, so whether you're now looking after them alone, or your students are helping - please do not let your plants go to waste or die! They are very easily looked after in their pots. Have any of yours started to sprout yet?

Now it is time to start tackling Task 4!
For Task 4, Preparing/Cooking food - students should take pictures of themselves preparing, cooking or eating Irish potatoes, fruits, vegetables and herbs at home. This can be done from home and might be a nice activity to with parents during this time!

Encourage them to write down the recipe after they prepare a dish! This is another great way for parents and guardians to become active members of their children's education and maybe even discover a new, delicious recipe! You could prepare a soup, make a smoothie, make a fruit salad or fruit kebabs, or even make something using a slow cooker.

Task 4 Completion Goal: Friday 30th April
Here are some ideas and tips when completing Task 4:

Make something simple (smoothie, soup, stew, salad, etc)

Try something new! What can you muster up from your kitchen cupboards? Have a helper take pictures of the students preparing a dish.

Encourage your students to take at least 2-4 photos of them cooking at home.

Have your students write down the recipe to their meal that they prepared in the pictures and attach it to the pictures.

These are just some ideas to help you out! While you are working on Task 4, don't forget to check on your garden! Take some more pictures on your garden's new growth!
There is also plenty of curriculum-based worksheets and activities available in the "Activities and Lessons" section above, such as "Draw your favourite recipe", healthy recipe suggestions and some fruit and vegetable quizzes that can be done at home!

As always, we are here for you if you need any help. Please send an email to eilis.greene@agriaware.ie if you have any questions, comments or concerns!

Happy Cooking,
The Agri Aware Team.

Dance Mat Typing - Best Typing Training For Students

Do you have kids or students who want to learn how to type? Dance Mat Typing by the BBC is a good choice. It is interactive, fun, free and easy-to-use for kids; the system is complete with animated animal characters, graphics and sounds. We provide friendly menus or lists and other cool stuff to make it easier for you and your kids to use Dance Mat Typing to effectively learn how to type.

Dance Mat Typing is structured as a series of four levels with three stages for each level (you can find them in the menu above). The animated animal teachers take kids through each of the 12 stages, narrating and showing them where to place their fingers on the keyboard, which fingers to use to type particular keys with onscreen cartoon hands. At the end of each stage, there is always a song by the teacher and his or her supporting cast to celebrate the kids' accomplishments.

Dance Mat Typing will help your kids learn to type - or if they can type already, it'll help them get better and better!

No signing up or logging in; the clear instructions and simple interface may very well allow kids to use it without adult assistance.

100% Free

" Dance Mat is great fun! It shows us how to type using the correct fingers. We have been using it each week. Here are some pics. "
Dance Mat Typing Level 1 Dance Mat Typing Level 2 Dance Mat Typing Level 3 Dance Mat Typing Level 4
Hello kids, welcome to join the Dance Mat Typing course. In this course, there are totally 12 stages divided into 4 levels that will help you learn typing from scratch. Even though you don't have any clue about typing now, you will become a "typist" who can type fast without looking at the keyboard when you finish all the tasks in these 12 stages.

There must be tons of different courses and practicing programs for typing, but most of them are not attractive to kids or students because of the boring exercises and low-quality images. With this BBC typing course, you will experience a totally different learning journey.

Now, let me give you guys a general introduction about the BBC typing class - Dance Mat Typing.

You will meet different teachers in this flash course. They are (from the first stage to the last stage) Goat, Octopus, Rooster, Hip, Ninja Turtle, Flamingo, Yak, Giraffe, Queen ant, Cat and Snake. When you come to the last stage, you will meet the whole family there, and I can't wait to tell you that there is a big party waiting for you!

In each stage, there are also some support characters. They will give you some tips when you cannot type on the right key, and they will pay you compliments when you finish a task. Different scenes are designed for each stage in this flash game of learning typing, you will learn how to type while appreciating the beautiful views. It will make you feel like you are traveling if you open your mind to imagine.

In different stage with different scenes, the tasks are set up with different objects. For example, in stage one, because the goat is a rock star, you will break all the music discs at the bottom of the screen when you finish all the tasks; in stage three in which the main cartoon character is rooster, you need to break all the eggs to accomplish all the tasks.

Apart from all the things mentioned above, the characters will say something very interesting in the process of learning typing. For example, the octopus in the stage two will teach you some Italian like "ciao, bambini" which means "hello, kids", and the yak in the stage seven will take you to one of the most mysterious places in this world - Tibet and tell you some mysterious stories about it.

Last but not the least, one of the highlights of this flash is the music. Different cartoon characters will play a different genre of music. For example, the rock star, goat, will sing a rock roll song with playing guitar; the yak from Tibet will play some kinds of Tibet music which are really quiet and mysterious; The flamingo will bring you some lively Spanish style flamenco music.

Anyway, all I want to say is that this BBC typing course is really interesting and useful. You will learn how to type fast without looking at the keyboard while having fun. I promise you won't get bored. Giving it a try will be more meaningful than anything I said here. Enjoy the Dance Mat Typing!

This game is about counting up to 100.

You will need the game board, an ordinary dice and three matching counters for each player.

How to play the game:
Start by putting one of your counters on '0', one on '0 tens' and one on '0 hundreds'.

The first player throws the dice and moves their counter that number of places along the snail's body. Take turns at throwing the dice.

After you get to '9', the first counter goes back to '0' and the second counter moves up to '1 ten'.

Keep moving the first counter along the snail's body and moving the second counter to the next 'ten' every time you get to the end and go from 9 to 0.

When your counter is on '9 tens' and needs to move, it can't move any further around the spiral. Instead, it goes back to '0 tens' and your third counter moves from '0 hundreds' to '1 hundred'. The first person to move their counter onto the '1 hundred' space is the winner!

Learning to read with phonics

If you live in England, your child will learn to read using phonics. Their school is very likely to use either the Letters and Sounds phonics framework or the Read Write Inc. programme. Check with your school if you're not sure which one they use.

Using Letters and Sounds?

If your child is using Letters and Sounds, you can find this list of eBooks by Letters and Sounds Phases useful. Bear in mind the following:

If you don't know your child's Phase, you can check with your school. As a guide, most Reception children will be on Phases 1-4 and most Year 1 children will be on Phases 4-5. Beyond Phase 5, your child will be able to decode most books.

In Letters and Sounds, there are 'sets' within the Phases - so your child might not know all the sounds in every book within their Phase.

Some series contain occasional 'tricky words' that your child can't decode using phonics. Use the inside front cover notes to teach your child these words before they start the book.

Find out more about Letters and Sounds >

Using Read Write Inc. Phonics?
If your child is being taught to read using the Read Write Inc. programme, you can find books suitable for them by clicking on the 'Levels' menu below and using the 'Read Write Inc.' filter to select the right level.

Find more support and resources for Read Write Inc. in our parents' guide to Read Write Inc. >

Not reading to practise phonics?

Sharing books and independent reading

If your child is reading simply for enjoyment, comprehension, or practice, just browse the library or use any of the other filters. You can check which level is right for your child with this simple test from Read with Oxford.
