Guideline of Work for 4th Class from 25th – 29th May 2020.

Dear Parents and Pupils,

I hope you are all keeping well.

Please find below outline of work and sample daily schedule for 4th Class. Again, it is a guideline only, please don’t be under any pressure to complete it all.

You are all doing a great job, well done!

It is lovely to get to see the children’s great work on Seesaw. Can I ask that you upload one or two items Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to Seesaw.

We would like to put together something small for 6th class as they prepare to head into secondary school. If your child / children have time this week, could they please make a ‘Good Luck’ or ‘Best Wishes’ poster and send it via email before Friday 29th to teacher@clarannationalschool.ie with Mrs Casey in the subject bar. If you would like some templates, please go to our website; Closure page: Helpful Links: Visual Arts.

Please email the teacher account if you wish to get the answers for the weekly work and put Ms. Divilly in the subject bar.

Take care.

Ms. Divilly 😊

Pg. 126 It was Sunday. It was a lovely day and the school bazaar/market/fair was on. There were stalls in the yard and daddy bought a few plants. Mammy won a box of biscuits on the wheel of fortune. After a while, the family reached the stall with the ducks. Daidí – What price is the duck, please? Príomhoide (Principal) - €2 each. Daddy bought six small yellow ducks. He gave one duck to each member of the family. There was a number on each duck. Clíona got number seven. There was a little stream beside the school. The duck race started at 4 o’clock. The principal blew a whistle and everyone threw the ducks into the stream. The ducks went down the stream. Clíona closed her eyes and started to pray.

Daidí – Hurry up number 13! Mamaí - Hurry up! Hurry up number 25! Neasa - Off you go, number 52. Rossa – Where are you going, you fool! Séimí – Swim duck, swim! The ducks were swimming under a bridge when number 13 hit a big rock. Daddy was disappointed. Number 52 got stuck in a tree. Neasa was angry. Number 7 won the race. Principal – Who owns this duck? Daddy - Number 7? Clíona owns it! Clíona opened her eyes. Clíona – Number 7! I own it! I own it! My duck won the race! Clíona jumped up and down. She was delighted.

Origami Monster Corner Bookmarks https://www.easypeasyandfun.com/diy-corner-bookmarks/

How to Fold a DIY Corner Bookmark You will need a sheet of paper (preferably origami paper), scissors and decorations and glue to make the monster or any other creature you like. 1. Start by folding the paper in half . 2. Fold the left and right corner to the centre point. Cut off the excess part and cut through the middle so that you get two triangles. 3. Unfold them – you’ve gotten yourself two or four squares that will soon turn into two/four monster bookmarks! 4. Fold the square in half – you’ll get a rectangle – fold in half again and you’ll get a smaller square. Unfold it.

I made this at home and just used

normal paper. I also added in my

own photos for step 5 and 6 as I

thought they might be a bit

confusing! I hope you enjoy making

them.

5. As you’ve unfolded the small square you’ll see 4 small squares inside the unfolded square – cut one out as shown on the picture below. 6. Now cut the two squares beside the one you’ve cut out, diagonally through the squares (as shown on the picture)

7. Fold the little triangles inward – apply some glue to the inner one and you’re done!

8. All that’s left to do is to cut some eyes, tongues, teeth, tentacles, horns… And glue them onto your monster!
