Please see here under the class heading, activities for your child to complete over the next week. The focus of this is to maintain your child's level of speaking, listening to, reading and writing the English language. I am aware most of you speak English daily at home however some may not. Everything here is completely optional and all only a suggestion. Please do not ask your child to engage with any extra work here to what their teachers have assigned if you feel that they already have enough to keep them going. However some children might ilke to keep up the practise. Please feel free to contact me by email should you have any questions or concerns about your child. Hope to see everyone soon! Emma Hickey. ]]> 2020-04-27 00:17:49 UTC https://padlet.com/emmahickey/tx0kwehvjjmx42ux/wish/532050511 May 5th - May 8th. Theme: People and places in other areas. emmahickey https://padlet.com/emmahickey/tx0kwehvjjmx42ux/wish/532056050 This is the topic we would be learning about in school if we were there now.

I hope you are doing well. Just a quick message to say this fortnight's topic is Plants and Animals. This includes general English relating to nature or household pets. It is a good time of year to spend some time in the garden or taking walks to focus on the Nature around us. Perhaps try some activities to help with this topic like growing some seeds or flowers, taking care of animals or going for a nature walk and involve your child in the process. Tasks will be updated again next Monday. Get in touch if you need anything!

Once again, please only take on this work if your child is happy to do so. I am aware everyone already has work from their teachers and that might be enough for them.

Some Ideas:
1) I got chased home from school by a dog.
2) The day I saw an elephant.
3) My trip to the zoo.
4) A bear stole my homework!
5) My first pet
6) Oops where did I put my pet spider!?]]> 2020-05-10 23:27:11 UTC https://padlet.com/emmahickey/tx0kwehvjjmx42ux/wish/563564778 Speaking Task - Taking Care of a pet. emmahickey https://padlet.com/emmahickey/tx0kwehvjjmx42ux/wish/563573599 To make this fun, set a timer to 30 seconds and see how much you can say about taking care of a pet!

Feeding them pet food
Giving them water all day 
Taking them for a walk
Taking them to the vet
Buying them a bed

He really loves going for walks and holds his lead in his mouth when I tell him it's walk time! He does not like Cats or rabbits though, he chases them in the garden.

This week we have a new topic to learn about - Caring for my locality. This is a good topic seeing as we all have to stay in our locality at the moment! 
The focus is the names of places and buildings in the town and how we can look after the town e.g. no litter, cleaning up places, tidy towns etc... 
By now, everyone should have their language copies, if there is any writing to be done, it should go in this copy or any sheets printed should be stuck into this copy. 
All work for this week is yellow coloured like this note. :)
It would be a nice idea to go for a walk through the town and see how many places you can name with your child and teach them what happens in each building. ]]> 2020-05-24 16:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/emmahickey/tx0kwehvjjmx42ux/wish/591538962 Provences of Ireland emmahickey https://padlet.com/emmahickey/tx0kwehvjjmx42ux/wish/591553733 Ireland is divided into 4 areas called provences - Munster, Lenister, Cannaght and Ulster.

Summer is here with the lovely sunny days we have been having. It is even still bright when we go to sleep! This powerpoint will show us what to see in Summer. This is definitely my favourite time of the year but Summer 2020 will look much different than all our other Summers because of Covid-19. Let me know what your favourite things to do in the summer are!

We are getting closer to the summer holidays so I am going to just post daily tasks from now until the end of the year for you to do. We have finished the curriculum for language support and if we were in school, testing would be starting now for these last couple of weeks. 

If anyone would like to continue the work like I have been giving them you can email me Emma.hickey@millpresns.com and I will be happy to help but I think everyone has worked hard up to know too So not to worry about doing a lot now.

If you scroll to the very right, Beyond the 4th class column you will see “daily tasks” this is where to look for the remained of the year. 

Have a nice week,

Miss Hickey.
