As all schools are to remain closed for the next two weeks, I have devised a body of work which your child may engage with while at home. This work is to help keep your child engaged in their learning while schools are closed. We also encourage children to also keep reading, practice their musical instruments, play board games, bake, get fresh air and engage in outdoor activities if possible and within the HSE recommendations.
The school work outlined below ( based on the note the children received today) encourages independent learning and revision.
All projects should be attempted and the manner of display is up to the children. (poster, PowerPoint, word document, book, art work etc)
All children learn in individual ways and some children will fly through the suggested assignments while others will struggle with the workload. Please use your own judgement and base amount work completed on your child’s ability and pace.
Please dont worry about your child falling behind if they dont complete all assigned work and put undue stress on your child to complete everything. Decide on a maximum amount of time, you as a parent feel your child can work at independently and successfully each day and after which cease work.

Dear Ms.Roughneen
I just wanted to check with you what do we have to do for the water experiments?
Thank you
Caoimhe.N
Thanks Caoimhe, I will post about the water experiments next week.
Hi Ms Roughneen
What do I do if I forgot a copy?
From Nicole
Hi Nicole, you can just use a different one in the same subject or your homework copy. Just do what you think is best and make sense for you.
Hi Ms Roughneen
I was wondering if there is a minimum or maximum of pages to the project?
From Beth
Hi Beth,
There is no minimum or maximum pages. It can be a PowerPoint presentation (slideshow) or a word document if you want to do it on a computer. It could also be a movie if you wanted to try that. If you don’t want to use a computer, it could be a poster, booklet, brochure or piece of art work for example.
Hi ms. Roughneen. I was wondering if the river project can be a river outside of Ireland. Thanks, Kayleigh
Hi Kayleigh, yes you can do a river outside of Ireland.
Hi Ms roughneen
I only have 1 Irish spelling sheet and I was wondering if the right sheet is cian í bhfeighil an tí is the right sheet for this week
Thanks Erin
Hi Erín, yes that is the sheet for this week. I will put up some links to spelling exercises shortly.
Hi Mrs Roughneen
I’m just wondering is it week 24 English spellings for this week
Thanks. From Conor.
Hi Conor,
Week 24 is a revision week, so I didn’t give you that one. Do you have week 23 and week 25 or weeks 25 and 26?
Mrs Roughneen
I don’t have week 24 spellings
From Conor
Week 24 is a revision week, so I didn’t give you that one. Do you have week 23 and week 25 or weeks 25 and 26? Week 24 is a mistake in the schedule. I didn’t have the book with me when I wrote it.
Hi Ms.Roughneen
Just wanted to ask does the book report on the guns of Easter have to be in our history and geography copy?
Thanks
Caoimhe. N
Hi Caoimhe,
It can be in your SESE (History and Geography) copy or you can type it in Word or Pages if you prefer.
I have weeks 25 and 26
Thanks
Conor

Hi ms roughness, sorry to bother you but what exactly is a nature walk?
From Nicole
Hi Nicole, A nature walk is just a walk around your house or village where you just look at and examine the trees, plants and animals you might see. Try to identify some of the things you see. You can find information here https://www.glinskns.ie/identifying-trees/ Remember to keep checking the website for updates, information and resources.
Thanks
Hi ms roughneen
The Irish spellings sheet I have is ticead ar an talamh for this week. Is that the right sheet because it says a different sheet on the schedule
Kayleigh
Hi Kayleigh, yes that is the correct sheet. An Teilifís is the theme and Ticéad ar an Talamh p47-49 is the chapter.
Thanks!
Hi Ms Roughneen, how do we do our book review? Do we do one for every chapter?
From Nicole
Hi Nicole, No, you dont need to do one for each chapter, just an overall review of the novel. You can look at the post https://www.glinskns.ie/under-the-hawthorn-tree-2/ which is all about Under The Hawthorn Tree. There is a book report sheet on page 23 of the workbook link you could use or you can write up your own review.
Hi Ms. Roughneen
Lust wanted to ask what we have to do with google classroom as I saw a new assignment on it
Thanks
Caoimhe N
Hi Caoimhe, I will be sending an email to all parents with an suggested outline of next week’s work. We will (hopefully) be using Google Classroom and other remote tools to show your assignments and work. The link you saw is a sample assignment to try it out! As you (and all 6th class pupils ) already have your login details, you can try it out if you wish or wait until next week. Use the Template “This is Me” and edit it in Google Slides (very similar to Powerpoint) for yourself. It’s all trial and error as we try these tools out, especially as you have had no practice with the programme. I will be putting up the projects you have been working on as “assignments” so you can link those up too. (hopefully)
