2 week Plan
Work for Week beginning 20th April AND week beginning 27th April
Dear parents and students
I have created a list of work across all subject areas for the next 2 weeks.
I am aware that working form home is going to be difficult and understand that we can only do our best. I ask children to attempt core subjects, English, Irish and Maths first.
If children are finding it too difficult or if there is too much (or too little), please let me know. Like for everyone, this is all new to me too, so I can take all feedback on board and adapt if necessary going forward. My email is mrslennon2020@gmail.com
I hope everyone is staying safe and well and I look forward to seeing you all again soon.
Take care,Mrs Lennon
English
- Continue with reading zone and spellbound each week as per usual homework.

An Explanation Text is a non-fiction piece of writing which is meant to describe a process such as how a car is made for example. Explanation texts include specific features that include Written in the present tense, text arranged into numbered points, time connectives, diagrams with labels and pictures with captions.
I have attached an Explanation Text Checklist to help you.
I have also attached some examples of how an explanation text reads
Example of an explanation Text
Example 2 of an explanation text
- Research the Water Cycle
- Now, explain how it works – this can be written, a poster, a power point or brochure

I have provided a breakdown of the work in the document attached as well as some translations
Abair Liom – Aonad 15 – daily activities
Maths
Mental Maths each day as normal
Tables Champion each day as normal
Below is a list work for each day. Some children will find it easier than others. I suggest children spend no more than 30mins each day at maths completing what they can in this time.
The ANSWERS can be found on Folensonline (The same website for Abair Liom) so children can correct their own work at the end of each activity or can ensure they are on the right track.
I will also send answers out at the end of the two weeks.
