Jolly Grammar + spellings
p62 + 63….one sp block + 1 activity daily.
On p62 make sure you know what each word means. Parse the sentence at the bottom of the page. Do p63. I will post a picture of corrected p62 and 63 on gc on Friday.
-pre spellings / infinitives.
What is the infinitive? It is basically the name of the verb. The infinitive, or name, of the verb usually has the word to in front of it, as in to cook. It is the simplest form of the verb and what you would look up in the dictionary. It does not have a tense or person, to cook does not tell us who is cooking, or when. Infinitives can be used in sentences, although they are never the main verb and do not have a subject. Jim decides to stay at home. In this sentence, the infinitive is to stay. It is not the main verb…decides is the main verb and Jim is the subject.
A Way With Words
p78 Unit 16, A town called chicken.
Do questions A + B p79 – even numbered questions….that’s 8 in total. On p83….try the cloze procedure.
Instead of the writing exercise on p82, I want you to write a newspaper article with the following headline….
’Primary school teacher, Elaine Quinn, fined for breaking lockdown rules’.
(I haven’t really!!)
I’m so looking forward to seeing what excuses you think I’d come up with for breaking the lockdown.
Make them as imaginative or funny as you like.

Next Sunday, the 31st May, marks the feast of Pentecost. If we were still in school we would have already done a lot of learning around Pentecost for your Confirmation. Pentecost is when the Holy Spirit came to the apostles after Jesus’ death and his Ascension into Heaven. The powerpoint attached shows the story of the Ascension. Watch the LEGO video clips below about the Ascension and Pentecost….I thought they put a very novel, modern spin on the stories!

This third clip caught my interest because it uses shadow puppetry to tell the story of Pentecost. You’ll remember Múinteoir Clíona made a shadow puppet and theatre last week on The School Hub.

When we receive the sacrament of Confirmation the gifts of the Holy Spirit that were given to us at our Baptism are sealed in us. In time, if we allow ourselves to use these gifts in our lives, they will bear fruit, or produce good things, which will be visible to both ourselves and others. See attached poster of the Fruits of the Holy Spirit.
In your religion copy this week, I want you to choose any ONE of the fruits of the Spirit and illustrate it. On the next page, I want you to draw a picture of you, or someone else, showing an example of that quality/fruit by the way they live their everyday life. Write a sentence to explain your picture. For example, if you chose LOVE as the fruit, your second picture might show an older sibling showing love by reading a book to a younger sibling, and so on.

Unit 30, lth 91…Spórt…..one sp block + 2 activities daily.
(This is the final unit of our Irish spelling books. Hopefully a parent/guardian or older sibling might get time to give a quick spelling test on Friday.)
Irregular verbs - one by one….. You should now be able to tell me how to use the verbs irregular verbs Abair and Beir in the past/present/future tenses.
This worksheet exercise is to do with the third one on the list of 11...Bí . It reminds us how we treat the verb in the present, past and future tense.
Print the sheet to work on or write the sentences into your Irish copy.
I will post corrected answers to gc on Friday for you to correct your work.
A note about the verb ‘Bí’…It’s so simple really but often catches out a lot of people because we nearly don’t even recognise it as a verb. The words translate in English to am/is, was/were, will be….they’re not your typical action words….so even in English sometimes we fail to recognise they’re from the verb ‘to be’. You’ll notice in the Aimsir Láithreach (present tense) column they’ve written both Tá and Bíonn. How do you know which to use? Remember we said ‘Tá’ for something happening now (anois) and ‘Bíonn’ for something that always happens/every day (gach lá/I gcónaí). See bottom of p182 Abair Liom for examples. It’s just like what we’ve been learning in English with the simple and continuous tenses….tá is simple tense and bíonn is continuous.

Small World - Geography & Science
There won’t be another episode of Scoil Na Mara available until next week so we’ll go back to Small World (Geography & Science bk) for this week’s lesson. I want you to read Unit 17 – Famine. Then answer the questions on the sheet.
After reading the unit, answer the following questions.
You can type answers on here, or on word and attach it, or even just print out the questions and answer them in your small world copy.
What is a developing country?
By what other name is Somalia sometimes referred to as?
Name/List 4 causes of famine.
What country was hit by 4 major hurricanes in a row in 2008, and then by an earthquake in 2010?
What is a hafir?
What old saying has become the motto for the organisation ‘Self Help Africa’?
It links in nicely with our learning around The Great Famine 3 weeks ago. While I was researching this material I read that 12% of the world’s population uses 85% of its water. That’s a very sobering statistic.
In your own time you might like to read about the following organisations who are helping developing countries today who are recovering from or facing famine.

I watched a documentary series on Madagascar a couple of months back…I think it was on RTE. Some of you may have seen it. I was fascinated to see how a family had carved out massive rainwater storage reservoirs inside the trunk of the Boabab trees. You’ll remember we spoke about them back in October when we did the unit on plants. In this way, these trees were helping to combat drought, one of the contributory factors to famine. If you watch the following clips, you’ll see other examples of how the baobab trees help families to be nourished and self-sufficient, through the harvesting and sale of their zero-waste superfood fruit.
