School work at home for Mr. Neenan’s 4th Class11th-15th January 2021 |
|
Hello boys,
Welcome back! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and enjoyed the holidays. We are heading into another adventure by working at home this January. I hope you are continuing to keep safe and well. It is important that we stay home for the next few weeks and hopefully we’ll be back together in school before we know it. Similar to the setup last year, I will give you work for the week ahead. If you have any problems or questions, please email me at tneenan@charlevillecbsprimary.ie I would recommend spreading the work out over the week rather than doing it all in one day. Once you have your school work done for the day, you can enjoy your time off then 😊 A few little tips for you: 1. Plan out your day. Make a checklist for yourself and tick your tasks off as you go along. This will give you a sense of achievement at the end of the day e.g. a) School work ✓ b) Write down 5 things I am grateful for ✓ c) Exercise/play in the fresh air ✓ d) Tidy my room ✓ e) Clean the dishes ✓ f) Play cards ✓ 2. Keep up the positive thinking. E.g. if it is raining, have a cup of tea and admire the rain! 3. Keep up the random acts of kindness around the house. We will have a class Teams video call at 2pm this Wednesday (13th January). It would be great if you could make it so you can all see each other and have a chat. I’ll be in contact with you soon boys, Mr. Neenan. |

Hello boys,
We all have reached another milestone in this time of Covid-19, that milestone being the last full week of the school year. It has been a strange time for all and a difficult time for many. For all of you who have worked to this end, there is great credit due to you, the students, and to your parents and household members who live at home with you. As we say in class, “take a bow!” This is a more gentle week of revision, revisiting interests and fun. I am leaving the link on bees and pollinators in the geography/ science section of our homework, on how we may help the bees and learn about one of the most important and clever creatures in nature. As you are now aware all teachers are using One Note on Office 365 to post school work to you. You should now be able to submit your completed work to your teachers through this One Note system. Ms Herlihy has posted a tutorial video for you, on the Home School Classwork page of our school website, to show how this new system works. You can still email us on Outlook for clarifications. Khan academy is an excellent resource and Ms. Lane and I are working to assign specific tasks to you on this site. Ms. Lane has sent out all the passwords and usernames.

SPHE | For SPHE this week I would like you to focus on Water Safety. Water safety is very important in the home, at the swimming pool, on the farm and when visiting rivers, lakes and seas. As we begin to look forward to the summer holidays and the easing of travel restrictions, more and more people will travel to the areas with water. The boys went to the pool during the year to improve their swimming skills but recognising dangers is just as important as the ability to swim. I urge you all to follow these lessons below as they may keep you or family members safe. Please follow the link below and click on your class level (4th class and 5th class presentations are different)

Hello boys,
Hope you are continuing to keep safe and well. By now the trees and hedgerows have burst into leaf, birds are well into their nesting season and there is plenty of insect life drawn to new blossoms. I hope you are taking time to notice the cycle of early summer. Meanwhile, just to keep you a little busy yourselves, you can find the homework below for the coming week. Again, please do not get anxious if you cannot manage all the activities but do the best you can. As you are now aware all teachers are using One Note on Office 365 to post school work to you. You should now be able to submit your completed work to your teachers through this One Note system. Miss Herlihy has posted a tutorial video for you, on the Home School Classwork page of our school website, to show how this new system works. You can still email us on Outlook for clarifications. Khan academy is an excellent resource and Ms. Lane and I are working to assign specific tasks to you on this site. Ms. Lane has sent out all the passwords and usernames.

‘Active HOME Week’ Challenge (April 27th – May 3rd) As you know ‘Active SCHOOL Week’ takes place every year and is a really enjoyable part of the school year for many children. This year, because of Covid-19 it is not possible for this to go ahead right now so we are asking you to participate in the ‘Active HOME Week’ challenge instead.
ABOUT the Challenge The idea of the #ActiveHomeWeek challenge is to: · Reach out to parents/guardians to support the work that is taking place in their school · Support parents by providing them with ideas and a challenge format to encourage children to build physical activity into their day · Encourage children to find NEW ways of being physically active that they ENJOY · Raise awareness about the fact that children need at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day To complete the challenge children have to find four different ways of being active every day making sure that this add up to 60 MINUTES, or more. Children are encouraged to try something NEW, have FUN with a family activity and to ENJOY the week!
IDEAS There are so many great physical activity suggestions in circulation at the moment from local/national sports clubs, role models and agencies that we decided to organise them into an IDEAS word cloud graphic. All of the activities in the word cloud can be viewed ‘in action’ and ‘in the one place’ @activeflag The Twitter feed includes activities to suit children of all ages, abilities and interests with indoor and outdoor options and ideas about how to make sports equipment out of every day household items. It’s definitely worth a look The word cloud is designed to make it easy for parents and children to find ways to complete the challenge, but children don’t have to stick with just these ideas. They can use activities, not listed here, that they are already doing or create new activities of their own. You might decide as a school to suggest activities or to create your own school/teacher challenges! CHALLENGE Charts
Parents are welcome to return the completed challenge charts to your school in whatever manner is easiest for them, and in whatever way that suits your school best.
Send your pictures or videos of you keeping active at home to Ms. Sheedy at msheedy@charlevillecbsprimary.ie Joe Wicks is running his 30 minute PE lessons live at 9am every morning, this would be a great way to start your day with all of your family https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=joe+wicks+PE+ |
