Who's been missing these? 😁😏🤪😵😬🤔🤭
I'll post the answer tomorrow morning with a new one. I'm feeling sorry for you because you'll be out of practice so I'll give you a tip....even though the puzzle itself doesn't give one. All of the burgled houses have something in common. Stick your guess into the class comments. Good luck!
Hi everyone, this library competition has been brought to my attention to share with you all. I'm sure some of you would like to enter it. Details are on the attached poster.
Oh my goodness...I was so excited to see this article yesterday on rte.ie that I just had to share it with you. It ties in perfectly with what we've been learning this week in our S.E.S.E. about The Great Famine.
It turns out that the wheel has come full circle and Ireland are now repaying the favour to the Choctaw Nation.
Please read it by clicking on the link. It's written by Brian O Donovan, the Washington news correspondant. You'll have seen him most nights on the news reporting from Capitol Hill.
The newspaper article on the same story was sent to me by Anna.
Grammar - Parsing.
The home-school hub will be looking at parsing on Friday. It's something we've done quite a bit of. I'm going to get you to parse the following sentences and I'll put up corrected answers for you on Friday.
Remember, you're looking for nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, and conjunctions. You should be able to identify the subject and the object...if there is one. You need to remember the key we used...n/noun, adj/adjective, v/verb, adv/adverb, p/pronoun, pp/preposition, c/conjunction.
You should also be able to tell me whether the sentences are written in the simple tense, the continuous tense or the perfect tense. Your jolly grammar book on page 31 will give you help with this.
Again, print out the form or do it in your copy. (google docs)
Irregular verbs - one by one.
Can you remember all 11 of the Irish irregular verbs? Remember, we learned them all alphabetically.
This worksheet exercise is to do with the first one on the list...Abair. 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. (google docs)
May is the month of Mary.
Read about Mary the mother of Jesus on pages 126 - 129 of your Grow in Love.
I've attached a link to the story of The Black Madonna of Poland which is from Grow in Love online.
Legend has it the image dates back to the time of the Twelve Apostles, and was painted by the hand of St. Luke the Evangelist, who is believed to have used a tabletop from a table built by Jesus during his time as a carpenter. According to the legend, it was while Luke was painting Mary that she recounted to him the events in the life of Jesus that would eventually be used in his Gospel.
The image of Our Lady of Czestochowa gets its nickname “Black Madonna” from the soot residue which discolours the painting as a result of centuries of votive lights and candles burned in front of it.
I've also added the story of St. Luke and the icon of the Black Madonna from the teacher's manual.

Look back pages.
We won't do Master your Maths this week...I'll wait until we have a full week again.
Instead, I'm marking 3 pages of look back from Busy at Maths, I suggest you do one a day. There is a chance we may have done one/some of them in class but hopefully not. Please let me know if you've already done some of the pages. I'll post correct answers on Friday for you to self correct. As always, if you have a question, ask me here.
Look Back, P174

The Great famine.
I would like you to read Units 16 and 17 of your Small World History Book from page 76 on throughout the week. Then answer these 3 questions in your small world copy.
1. Who were the Quakers and how did they help people during The Great Famine?
2. Can you name 3 ways in which landlords acted cruelly during the great famine?
3. Why do you think the British Government did not take the situation in Ireland more seriously in 1846-1847?
