Hi 5th class, Well done on another week of hard work! I have attached the corrections for this week's English, Gaeilge and Maths work. Have a lovely long weekend, and please try your best to get out into that sunshine! Here is a new Kahoot to test this week's Maths skills - remember your prime, composite, even and odd numbers? https://kahoot.it/challenge/07315389?challenge-id=61aed4f5-e228-42a8-ab78-26b9f5c58f49_1590654330090 Game PIN: 07315389 And as promised... the winners from last week's Kahoot!

Hi 5th Class! So I have finished gathering all the evidence of the hard work you have put into the Junior Entrepreneur Programme this year, and I have it ready in a folder to post tomorrow morning. This folder showcases the work you have put in, up until school closure, and the team at JEP will judge what you have completed! Don't worry, we did not have to have the programme completed (as all schools closed), but the team at JEP wanted to have a look at what we completed up until the school closure. It was only when I spread out all the ideas, art, posters, etc. on my kitchen table, did I realise just how much you have completed as a class. Well done to you all, I am very proud of you! Here are a few pictures of what I am sending away tomorrow, and I have also included the video that our Story Telling Team had started (not finished.... yet!) for you to have a look at! I will email the JEP team the photos of your work throughout the year and this video too! "Miss Mulholland, when can we finish and sell the Super Spinners?" To be honest 5th class, I am not sure yet. I am talking to Mrs. Kirby to see can something be arranged for you to get an opportunity to finish and sell the spinners, so please be patient and we will try our very best to give you that chance. :) Enjoy!! Miss Mulholland 
5/26/2020 0 Comments Maths HelpA little video to revise subtraction of time - it may help with some tricky questions in your Master Your Maths. I have also linked an excellent website - "Toolkit4Maths". There are many tools on this page which help with your mathematical thinking! One I spotted, which will certainly help with Activity No. 3 of this week's Maths Lesson, is an Interactive Hundred Square! https://toolkit4maths.com/cpdcol/cpd_math_manipulatives10/index.php?tpage=interactive-hundreds-chart/#/interactive-hundreds-chart 
5/26/2020 0 Comments Project UpdateHi 5th class, We only have a four day working week this week 5th class, as we would have been off on Friday 29th and Monday 1st June for the bank holiday. Make sure to relax and take a break from the hard work you have been doing. We all need to recharge! I originally set the date for your Local History Project as the 1st June, without taking the long weekend into consideration, so I have moved that date to Friday 5th June instead. Hopefully it'll give you an extra few days to complete it. So far, I have heard about wonderful research online, some of you have already held interviews with relatives and friends, and I also heard about some photographers taking photos around the parish! :D I have been doing a little research myself - this photograph might give a clue about our school's history!  5/25/2020 0 Comments Gramadach GaeilgeThis website relates to Activity No. 3 in your Gaeilge lesson this week, which should have been attached to the blog post.
The resource is not so much a "video", but give examples of Na Céimeanna Comparáide in a friendly way! It uses flashcards to give examples of Na Céimeanna Comparáide and when you click the flashcard, it flips over to show you the translation. Only the first few cards are for viewing without an account, but I have made one for us to use as a class. Username: Fifthclass2020 Password: Fifthkns Feel free to explore the Quizlet website too! Enjoy! https://quizlet.com/100209561/ceimeanna-comparaide-na-naidiachtai-flash-cards/ Hi 5th Class, I hope you are all keeping safe, well and happy 5th class! Can you believe we are nearly in the month of June? It had me thinking of all the lovely things that would be happening in our school over these few months, and I am really missing seeing you all and hearing the craic from you every day. Here is a menu of suggested work to complete this week. I have changed things around a little bit to shake up routine! As said before, try to complete as much of the work assigned as you can, and please try your best to keep in contact with me by sending on pictures of completed work. Remember that I am recording what is being sent and providing feedback. I have received absolutely fabulous pieces of work already – keep it up! Some of you send me pictures of your work daily, and others send pictures of all your week’s work at the end of the week. Both options suit me, as long as I can see what work you are completing as often as possible. It is just lovely to receive the work you complete at home! As always, I have attached a Suggested Schedule of Work to help those who need a little bit of structure in their learning. Maths

5/21/2020 0 Comments Poet's CornerA small sample of the wonderful poems that have been sent my way so far this week. I can't wait to receive more! Can you guess who has written each poem? I love how these poems have followed a rhyming scheme, just like the poem we looked at this week - "Mr. Nobody". Don't they have all have a lovely, musical rhythm to them? A brilliant website that explains rhythm in poetry! This might help those who are a little bit stuck! :) https://www.poetry4kids.com/lessons/rhythm-in-poetry-the-basics/ 5/21/2020 0 Comments Oops!Haigh Rang a Cúig,
Tá botún s'na litriú Gaeilge atá againn! Déardaoin 7. Bhí duán ag Niall agus chuir sé baoite air. (Niall had a fish hook and he put bait on it) 8. Ansin go tobann bhí portán ar an duán. (Then suddenly, there was a crab on the hook) Tá brón orm! :) Miss Mulholland 5/20/2020 0 Comments Two little announcements!Hi 5th Class!
Just two little announcements for you! 1. The current 6th class will be appearing on RTÉ's Homeschool Hub tomorrow morning (Thursday, 21st May) at 11am! The Homeschool Hub are focusing on "filming" for the week, and will show "Say Something", an Anti-Bullying Video created by the current 6th class when they were in 4th class! Amazing work! :) 2. Our beautiful First Communion class who will be making their First Communion at a later date this year, would have made their communion around this time. This Saturday (23rd May) at 6:00pm, a special mass will be said for the children in 2nd class if you would like to join via webcam (click on link below). Remember how special your communion was to you? https://www.mcnmedia.tv/camera/church-of-immaculate-conception-kilkerley-dundalk Lastly, well done to those who have been sending me pictures of completed work from this week's assigned work already. It is wonderful to see you work so hard! If you would prefer to send pictures of your work at the end of the week, that also suits. Keep it up! :) Miss Mulholland Shane's artwork for "Creatives Against Covid19", which is an initiative to help spread hope during the Covid19 Pandemic, has featured on Instagram! Shane used the word "soon" to highlight how he misses school, longing to be back with friends "soon". Well done, Shane!  Hi 5th Class! Here is a suggested list of work to complete this week. As always, there is no pressure to complete everything on this list, but try your best to – it will keep you on track with your learning. Every week, I attach a Suggested Schedule of Work that suits the work for the week in question, (attached below) which might help to keep you organised. It was great to hear from so many of you last week, 5th class! I know you are all working hard and learning at home, be it the work assigned or important life-skills! I am very proud of you all.

Stories I found this very interesting! Enjoy! See can you find the stories from Kilkerley! In the 1920’s and 1930’s, the government realised that Ireland was changing and was losing a lot of it's old ways and tales – so a nationwide project was set up! All children were asked to go out into their community and listen to and record stories from old neighbours/friends. https://www.ucd.ie/folklore/en/duchas/ https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/5008833 (Kilkerley!) https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/5008833/4959551/5074052?ChapterID=5008833 (The history of our school!)

5/15/2020 0 Comments Corrections - 11th May - 15th MayHi 5th Class! Here are the corrections for this week's suggested work, in Maths, English and Gaeilge. Some items are hard to "correct" as they are based on your own choices/ideas/etc. Use this document to correct your work to the best of your ability, and if you have any questions, don't be afraid to email! :) I have also created an End of Week Kahoot for you! This Kahoot includes questions about this week's work - let's see what you have learned! It is a brilliant way to revise, and jog your memory too. Enjoy! https://kahoot.it/challenge/06463768?challenge-id=61aed4f5-e228-42a8-ab78-26b9f5c58f49_1589542691412 Well done again on another fabulous week of work! Later on today, I will post a few pictures I received this week so that you can see what your classmates are getting up to! :) Miss you all! Miss Mulholland
Hi 5th Class! You are all working extremely hard at home, keep it up! It is wonderful to see emails come in with your hard work, pictures of everything you are getting up to and even some “hello”s! Here is a suggested list of work to complete this week. As always, there is no pressure to complete everything on this list, but try your best to – it will keep you on track with your learning. Also, if you would prefer to continue working on a part of the work assigned in previous weeks, that is no problem. Every week, I attach a Suggested Schedule of Work that suits the work for the week in question. (Attached below) There is no pressure to follow this, although it might help those who like to follow a timetable, or add some structure to the day. A good idea is to print the Schedule and tick off the work as you complete it – this way you can keep track of the work you finish. Maths

Art Creatives Against Covid19 Artists from all over Ireland are creating posters for a campaign called “Creatives Against Covid19”. The artists are spreading hope and joy using art, during this difficult time for our country. The artists have now invited the children of Ireland to create their own poster or recreate a poster for the campaign! I know there are some wonderful artists in 5th class who might like to take on this challenge. This is completely optional! I have attached the “brief”, which explains how you can participate if you would like to! https://www.creativesagainstcovid19.com/ Music/History - Irish Traditional Music

Hi 5th class,
I just wanted to bring your attention to a piece of news that I have spotted today, as it brought my mind back to November and our learning at that time! Do you remember learning about the Great Irish Famine back in November? Do you remember we read about "The Long March" in your Up and Running (Pg.64) and we also had a look at Mrs. Kelly's picture book? We had wonderful discussions about how the Choctaw (farmers from South Eastern USA), who didn't have much to give, sent a gift to help the Irish during the famine. "We have only little, but let us gather what we have and send it to Ireland". Today, articles have appeared in the news about how Irish people are now "repaying a 173 year old favor" - WOW! https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/06/the-irish-help-raise-money-for-native-americans-hit-by-the-coronavirus.html https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/coronavirus-ireland-native-americans-famine-21984769 5/5/2020 0 Comments Long Division Revision!A video that will help with long division, which we come across in our Master Your Maths this week! If you would like any other videos on any of the topics you come across, just ask! :) Also, if you find that you cannot download something that is attached to the blog posts, just email me and I will try to get it sent to you. Another Maths question... how many times do I say "okay" in this video? :D I might be getting too used to listening to my own voice! I miss hearing all of your voices in 5th class! Keep safe, Miss Mulholland

Well done! :) Have a lovely weekend, Miss Mulholland
