Good morning boys and girls,
Well done to you all on another week of great work. Thank you to all of you who have sent in work. I have answered most of your emails. There are one or two I haven't got round to yet but I will. If you haven't heard anything back from me by tomorrow evening please let me know as my internet seems to be playing up a little bit out here in the sticks!!
Here is your work for this week:
Reading - 1st class - pg 18 - 22
- 2nd class - pg 2 - 6 Bedtime Stories - you will find this book on the CJFallon website - 2nd class - English - Rainbow Stage 2 - Bedtime Stories - Core Reader 6.
Tables - revise all subtraction tables
English in Practice - pg 68 & 69
Mental Maths - Week 35
Planet Maths - 1st class - Try pages 59, 60, 61, 69, 70, 71
- 2nd class - Try pages 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 71
English Skills Book - 1st class - pages 42, 43, 44, 45, 46
- 2nd class - pages 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 These books go with your reading books so you may need to look back at the books to get some of the answers.
We are finished our set spelling lists for the year. I am not setting any SESE or SPHE for this week as I think there is a good bit of work here with the Planet Maths and the Skills Books. For anyone who wants to do a little extra, by all means have a look at the Small World books on CJFallon website and choose something yourself or if you want to continue with the Irish from last week please do so but there is no pressure. Let me know if I can help with anything. I know many of you are using your time to do things that you might not normally get to do, like baking, writing letters to friends, learning a new skill, riding a bike. That is great too. Try to keep reading lots and get some fresh air and exercise. Have a good week.

Good morning boys and girls,
I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Well done on another week of 'distance learning'. Thank you to all of you who sent me work and other activities that you have been doing. I love hearing your stories and what you are getting up to. I'm looking forward to hearing from you all again later on in the week.
Here is your work for this week.
Reading - 1st class - pages 13 - 17
- 2nd class - pages 44 - 48
Tables - revise all subtraction tables
English in Practice - pages 66 & 67
Mental Maths - Week 34
Spellings - both classes - red, led, bled, fled, liked, cooked, played, walked.
- extra for 2nd class - lifted, needed, skated, wanted, after, blood, pole, site.
Write sentences for some of the words.
For those on a different spelling list - chat, chap, chip, chin, chew, chop, chum, chug.
For those on a different reading book - read the next 5 pages
SESE - CJFallon website - 1st class Small World - page 92 Egyptian Hieroglyphics - read
- page 93 Use the Hieroglyphics to write your own name, perhaps the names of people in your family. Try writing a sentence using them.
- page 95 Animals in hot and cold places - read and write out the sentences. If you would like to do extra work, you could research another animal e.g. camel and write about it.
SPHE - CJFallon website - 2nd class - Mindful Matters 2 - pg 22 - Talk about what the child being bullied in each picture should do.
If anyone wants to do some Irish(there is no pressure to do this), you can stay on the CJFallon website, click on 1st class - Gaeilge - Leigh sa Bhaile - Leigh sa Bhaile A - pg 23 - oral work, if children want to draw the pictures and write the sentence.
Parents - just a reminder, if the work is causing any undue stress to your child or to you, leave it. The last thing we want is for families to be more stressed than they already are as these are very stressful times. Have a good week. Stay safe.

Communion Class 2020
Good morning First Communion Class of 2020,
Today, 16th May should have been your Big Day. Unfortunately, due to the current pandemic, your Big Day has been postponed. I know some of you may be feeling a little disappointed today and that is understandable. I am a little sad for you too. However, it is important to remember that it is not cancelled, just postponed. While we don't know when exactly it will happen, it will happen. You will have your Big Day. You will get to celebrate with your families and friends. You will be able to get all dressed up and have a great day. In years to come you will be able to tell a story about your First Communion that no one else will have told - how you had to postpone your day so that the people you love could be kept safe.
I know some of you are perhaps planning on doing something special today to mark the occasion. Spend time with your family, do something together. It's difficult, you may think, because you can't go anywhere, but it's the little things. Have a meal together, ring a grandparent or a godparent, write a letter to someone about how you are feeling. Talk to Mammy or Daddy about how you are feeling because this should have been a special day for them as well. To see your child on their First Communion Day is a big deal for Mammys and Daddys. So they will understand if you are feeling a little sad as they are probably feeling the same.
So do something nice today. Remember your day will come and like I said it will be all the more reason to celebrate when the time does come. I will be thinking of each one of you today. I know what a mature group of boys and girls you are and that you will look to the future and know that someday you will have your First Communion Day.
Happy what should have been your First Communion Day!
Thinking of you all

Good morning boys and girls.
I can't believe it is May already. We should be doing our artwork for your First Communion 2nd class, this week. However, as you will know by now, we have been told that we will not be back at school before September now. This is very disappointing. I miss seeing your faces in the mornings. We will have to continue with this way of learning for the rest of the school year.
Thank you to all of you who have been in touch with me via email. It is lovely to hear from you and to see how you are getting on with your work. Please continue to stay in touch and send me pictures of your work and I will reply to you. Here is your work for the week.

Spellings for both classes - off, huff, cliff, stiff, yell, smell, house, know
