                                      June 2nd – 5th
English:
Reading:
Continue with the PM ebooks. I hope boys keep up their super efforts. I really enjoyed hearing the boys’ reading their stories and please continue to keep a record of words in the wordbank. Details are at the bottom of this section.
 
**Please remember it’s important these books are at the right level. Your son should be able to read most of the book comfortably (90 percent accuracy). If your son is finding the book too hard or very easy please let me know and I’ll make an adjustment.**
 
Instructions:
Type  app.pmecollection.com.au on web browser.
It is accessible on ipads and tablets too. Type pme collection into app store. Click on PM symbol.
Login using your son’s username and password. I was able to keep the same password that your child has for IXL website but usernames are different. You received those details but I can resend if necessary.
Now you have access to your bookshelf.
 
Using ebook:
Select a book. The cover comes up first.
At the bottom right corner click on tab READ.
Using mouse, scroll to right arrow and click to go onto next page.
On ipad swipe from right to left to move on.
 
To record:
Having opened your ebook and clicked on READ tab, go to
 left side of the page. Under the arrow key is the navigation button (an orange rectangle with lines), click on this.
Five options appear at the bottom of the screen.
  1. Home = takes you back to the bookshelf.
  2. Edit=Your child can add additional words or change sentences in the story.
These changes will not be saved or sent anywhere.
  1. Draw= Your child can draw on, circle or underline the text or picture. These changes will not be saved.
  2. Record= 2 buttons to select from.
Click on Microphone button – This will record your child reading the page. Click on microphone again to stop recording. You can only record one page at a time so you must click record on each page.
 
Play button= Will play the recording.
I will get a copy of the recording.
 
If the microphone option is not available, please check your settings, that your computer allows it.
 
  1. Independent Reading Button = This allows recordings to be made, also words and pages to be read by computer.
If you change this setting to “Guided Reading Profile”
or “ Custom Reading Profile” you lose these choices.
 
Wordbank:
       It would be useful to keep a record of any words your child
       has difficulty with when reading.
       There is a wordbank feature which will save those words so
       they can be revised. I will also get to see those words.
    
      Saving words to Wordbank:
      Right click on top of the word and word will appear with a
      clipboard and a plus sign.
      Click on clipboard and that word will be saved to your
      wordbank.
      On ipad, with finger swipe across the word and word will
      appear with clipboard and plus sign.
      Then click on clipboard and that word will be saved to the
      wordbank.
 
     To Read Your Words:
     There’s a button on top of bookshelf:   My Words
     This is your wordbank.
 
 
If you have any difficulties please let me know.

You can also use the fun ‘Tables Challenge’ game on our 1st & 2nd class blog page on the school website (Scroll down the right side).
  • Mathemagic1 Revision exercises pgs. 147 - 148
I have highlighted new revision tasks on the IXL website that I hope the boys will practise. A9,A10,A17, A18, A23, and to revise addition tables C1, C2, C3, C4, C5.
Further activities if needed in Figure It Out 1 pg. 59-60
  • New Wave Week 34…some ideas to expand  learning
Tuesday: No. 4 = Pick out the odd numbers/even numbers.
Tell of 4 different ways of making a total of 39.
Wednesday: No.10= If 4 children were away, how many in the class? How many more children walk than come by car?
Thursday: No. 7 = What other coins could you use to make 80c?
Friday: No.3 = What time was it 1hr earlier? 1/2hour  earlier? ½ hour later? 3 hours later?
How many minutes in an hour? in a half hour?
 
Problemsolving: Remember underline key words. Draw pictures to help. Use “ RUDE”
R= Read
U = Underline
D = Draw
E = Evaluate. .Does your answer  make sense?
 
Remember mistakes are good when we learn from them.

Let's Go Fly a Kite – A collective call to action for children, young people and their families to make and fly a kite for Cruinniú.
 
The Design and Crafts Council Ireland have joined forces with Creative Ireland to design a kite that anyone can make at home. All you need is some sticks, some newspaper, some string and a whole lot of imagination. Why not decorate in your county colours, or decorate it with pictures of your favourite pop star? From the 15th May, a series of webinars and videos will guide you and your family through fun ways to make a kite.

  • Physical exercise every day e.g. Play hopscotch, hide and seek, jump on stepping stones in the garden, do an exercise countdown e.g. 10 jumping jacks, 9 bunny hops, 8 highknees, 7 butt kicks, 6 criss cross etc
  • Learn to skip or cycle. Have fun!!
