3rd Class Work 20th-24th April Maths, English and SESE PART 1
Hi Rang a Trí!
I hope you all had a lovely Easter break and enjoyed the fantastic weather. I’m sure you all saved some of your Easter egg for me! Here in my house, we spent the two weeks outside in the garden, going for a short walk/cycle, baking (pancakes, cheese scones, various types of queen cakes, brownies, cookies) and I had lots of help in the kitchen making the breakfast, lunch, dinner and the numerous ‘snacks’ in between! Do all children eat as much as mine????! I must invest in a lock for the fridge!!
I’m sure you all miss seeing your friends and playing together. How are my football and basketball buddies doing?? I miss you all and the classroom ‘buzz’. One of my last fond memories is us reading ‘The Butterfly Lion’ together. I think we all gave that novel a ‘thumbs up’. Can you remember the author, illustrator, characters, settings and any of the numerous ‘difficult words’ we picked out?
I also miss seeing my mum and dad. I haven’t visited them since the day the school closed. We FaceTime and chat every day. They are lucky to have my two brothers at home with them for company, getting the shopping and helping around the house but they really miss seeing their grandchildren. Sleepovers, trips to the local beach and lots of treats are planned for when we get back to normal.
Back to your school work! This is a ‘menu’ of work, not prescribed, so please complete what fits with your own household and present circumstances including plenty of outdoor activity. I do not expect all work to be completed by all students. You need to access Mathemagic 3 and Abair Liom 3 on line so I have attached the links below. I have also attached the spelling lists in case you don’t have the book. Any work you find too difficult will be dealt with when school reopens. Think of me standing at the top of the classroom saying ‘Try your best’ and ‘Don’t worry’!

Teacher note on Lines and Angles:
This week you will be identifying, describing and classifying vertical, horizontal and parallel lines. You will also learn to recognise an angle in terms of rotation. The last thing you will learn is to classify angles as greater than, less than or equal to a right angle.
You will need to read pages 131-134 to learn/understand the different lines/angles. Once you have read through the chapter, you can find examples in your house and outside in your garden.
