Hi 5th Class!! Hopefully this will be our last week of online learning and with any luck you will be back in the classroom next week! (fingers and toes crossed!!) I wanted to say a WELL DONE to everyone who took part in all of our World Book Week events and our Engineering Challenges last week, I got some excellent responses and some brilliant engineering designs, so well done boys and girls!! This week is Seachtain na Gaeilge and so we will be doing a 5th V 6th Class Seachtain na Gaeilge themed P.E challenge which should be fun, as well as that we will have a couple of fun SnaG activities each day to do, one is a daily tongue twister and the second is a 'Cé Mise' - guess the person game! I have attached any material you may want to print for the week but as always they are attached on seesaw also :-) I hope you have a good week, don't forget to let me know if you are having any difficulty with anything, I'm here to help! rkelly@kilkerleyns.ie Thanks, Mrs. Kelly :-)

2/28/2021 0 Comments Online learning 1st - 5th MarchHello 5th Class!! I hope you all had a lovely weekend and got to enjoy some of the sunshine! Hopefully we are nearing the end of our time online learning and we will be back in the classroom very soon. I know some of you will have younger siblings who get to go back to school today which is hard however your turn is very VERY close!!! Try to stay focused for the next two weeks, you have all been doing a brilliant job and I am so proud of you all :-) This week we have lots of lovely activities in store. It is both Engineers Week and World Book Week this week so we will be taking part in lots of lovely online workshops for both and completing lots of nice tasks instead of our usual English and Maths lesson which you will be glad to hear!! Don't forget to get outside and keep moving, this is so important for our overall wellbeing which we will be learning about in SPHE over the coming couple of week. You have been doing a great job in our 5th V 6th Class PE Challenge, only a couple more weeks to earn points, so keep it up and hopefully we will be the winning class .... it's all up to you!! I have attached any material you may need for this week. Any problems just get in touch on seesaw or send me an email on rkelly@kilkerleyns.ie Chat soon, Mrs. Kelly :-)
Hi 5th Class! I hope you all had a lovely mid-term break and that you enjoyed both the snow and the sunshine during our week off! We have lots to look forward to over the next couple of weeks. This week we will be learning about volcanoes in English, SESE and Art. We will be continuing our learning on the theme of ‘An Teilifís’ i nGaeilge, and in Maths we will move on to learning about Time. During the week we will read a great picture book called ‘Escape to Pompeii’. I have attached it as a PDF here if you want to download it and read it, however I will read it in our lesson too later in the week. I hope you are all full of energy again, ready to get going with some more great work. You really have been doing such a great job and I am so proud of all of your efforts. Well done to all of those who are moving every day and taking part in our 5th V 6th Class P.E Challenge. I have heard that 5th class were in the lead so fingers crossed we have another great week! Don’t forget to keep exploring ideas for our JEP. I will post a little update on ideas to date. There have been some really great ideas and lots of things to think about, I will include all of this in our JEP lesson this week. Don’t forget to send me a little note, or an email at rkelly@kilkerleyns.ie if you are having any trouble with anything at all, I’m here to help! Thank you, Mrs. Kelly
Hello 5th Class, I hope you all had a lovely weekend and are ready for one more week of online learning before our mid-term break ... I can hear you all now saying yipeeeeee!!!! Well done last week on your work, I got some lovely photos of St. Brigid's Day crosses, some great soldier portraits, and lots and lots of brilliant written and oral work throughout the week, so well done to you all :-) This week we will be reading about space in our English reader, exploring a new theme of 'An Teilifís' in Gaeilge, moving on to percentages in Maths and exploring the 7 continents of the world in SESE. Tuesday in 'Safer Internet Day' so we will complete some activities on this also. As well all of this, on Friday we will have our first class zoom session! I'm really looking forward to seeing all of your lovely faces again online! Don't forget to remind your parents and guardians to complete the online permission letter in order for you to take part on Friday (without permission you will not be allowed). I have attached a letter from Mrs. Kirby to your parents about this and I have also added it to seesaw. Our zoom session will start with a little fun activity and then we will discuss our JEP ideas. This is a big week for JEP so I need you all exploring ideas and sending them to me before our Zoom on Friday! :-) 5th Class are in the lead in our 5th V 6th P.E Challenge, well done! So keep up all of your movement challenges this week, every time you complete something you earn a point for the class! See you all Friday! Mrs. Kelly :-)
1/30/2021 0 Comments Online learning 1st - 5th FebruaryHi 5th Class! I hope you all had a lovely weekend, can you believe we are starting February already?! Well done on all of your hard work last week, I love seeing your work and sometimes even your faces or hearing your voices when you read! I heard lots of great opinions last week when you all recorded yourselves which was great! This week we continue with the topic of Éadaí in Gaeilge and WW1 in English and SESE, we move on to Length in Maths and we will celebrate St. Brigid's Day today. We will continue our 5th V 6th class P.E challenges (don't forget to earn your class some points!!), but possibly something you might find the most exciting this week is starting our Junior Entrepreneur programme! We will start our first lesson on Thursday and next week I am really hoping to get lots of great ideas for products off you all! I have attached a suggested timetable for the week along with other activities that I have on seesaw but some children might like to print them from here. As always if you have any issues with anything just let me know, I'm here to help! :-) Slán, Mrs. Kelly 
Hello 5th Class! Well done on another great week of learning last week. I know it can be very hard to stay focused and motivated when we are not in the classroom but you are all doing a great job so please keep it up :-) A great effort was made to complete a project on Mayan Civilisation and to have it in for last THursday, well done to everyone who took part, I really enjoyed hearing about what you learned! This week we will be starting a few new topics, in Irish we will start the theme of Éadaí, in Maths we will be working on Decimals, and English and SESE we will be looking at WW1. Don't forget about our 5th V 6th movement challenge. 5th class gathered 20 points over the course of last week so well done! :-) I have attached a timetable for the week to guide you all along but as per usual all of our work will be on seesaw. Looking forward to seeing lots of lovely work this week again. Thanks, Mrs. Kelly :-) 
Hello boys and girls, I hope you are all keeping well. What a great first week we have had of online teaching and learning. Lots of you have been trying your best and I am so happy to see that, so well done and keep it up! For this coming week I am attaching a timetable with a brief outline of work. It would be a good idea to print this timetable so that you have it throughout the week and you can stay on task with your work. Just like last week, your tasks will be assigned daily on Seesaw, let me know if you are having any difficulty accessing these. Don't forget that 5th and 6th class are going head-to-head in a P.E challenge throughout this time while school is closed. Three P.E activities will be posted weekly. If you complete the task and post a photo or video on seesaw you will earn 1 point for your class... so the more of you that complete our movement challenges the more points we earn! Keep a close eye on seesaw for more infomation!! :-) I'm looking forward to seeing lots of great work again this week. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything, you can send a note on seesaw or you can email me at rkelly@kilkerleyns.ie Bye for now, Mrs. Kelly :-)

1/9/2021 0 Comments Welcome back 5th Class!!! :-)Hello boys and girls, I hope you all really enjoyed the holidays and had a lovely Christmas and New Year with your families. I hope that you are all keeping safe and well. I am very disappointed that we are not all in the classroom together to start this new year but hopefully we will be in soon. In the meantime we will continue our 5th class learning online. I will now explain how this will happen.
Remember boys and girls when you post your work on seesaw only I can see it, the rest of the class cannot see it. However if you write a comment under our daily work then everyone will see that. At times I may create a group discussion task, on these tasks all children will see your comments. If there is something you would like me to share with the class, maybe something fun you have made or done, you can let me know and I will share it with your classmates.

9/17/2020 0 Comments 5th class visit Roche Castle5th class have been learning about the Normans and life in Norman times. This week we went on a field trip to Roche Castle. The boys and girls had so much fun! When we arrived we took a tour of the castle and identified different features of the castle including the banquet hall, the dungeon, the walkway for the archers, we identified where the barbican once stood and the secret passageway as well as the famous murder window. The children carried out some map work, sketched the castle and then took part in a drama lesson where the O’Neills from the hills of Forkhill came to confront The Normans to try to gain their lands back. We had a wonderful day! What a great start to September 😊 6/25/2020 1 Comment Goodbye 5th Class!Hi 5th Class! This is just a little post to say a massive well done to all of you on a fantastic year completed in 5th class! In school and at home, you have put in so much work to further your own learning. You should be so so proud of yourselves, because I am! It is almost impossible to believe the year has come to an end, and in such a strange way! You made me feel so welcome when I arrived knocking on the door back in November, and Mrs. Kelly was so proud to hand you over. I hope you have a fantastic year in 6th class - you have so many things to look forward to. I am certain that you will be the brilliant role models for the younger classes! As some of you may know, I won't be returning to Kilkerley next year as I am hoping to teach in a different country next year! I am very sad about leaving the most wonderful school and the most beautiful children, but I am also excited! I will certainly be back to visit you all! Here is a little video to sum up what you have been up to at home during the last few months (including the promised bake-off pictures and videos!), and some pictures from our year together! I hope you enjoy. :) Have a fantastic summer, and please stay safe! All my love, Miss Mulholland Hi 5th class!
Below, I have written a list of books/series of books that you might like to explore over the summer months. Reading over the summer will keep that mind of yours sharp, and it can be wonderful to get lost in a good book! The books below include new books (just released), and not-so-new books (what my brothers and I used to read when we were younger!). Some of these books might be a little scary or sad, so it would be a very good idea to ask a parent/guardian if they think the book is suitable for you. Just like movies, books can be scary or might not be appropriate for your age. Always check with a parent or guardian, before you want to read something that might give you a fright! I have put a little red star beside the books that you should double-check with a parent/guardian before reading, as they might make you jump! Enjoy! Harry Potter Series* (My absolute favourite series!) by J.K. Rowling The Chronicles of Narnia Series* by C.S. Lewis Darren Shan Series* by Darren O'Shaughnessy Dork Diaries by Rachel Renee Russell The Misadventures of Max Crumbly by Rachel Renee Russell Skulduggery Pleasant* by Derek Landy The Famous Five Series by Enid Blyton Artemis Fowl Series by Eoin Colfer Eragon* by Christopher Paolini Skeleton Key* by Anthony Horowitz A Series of Unfortunate Events* by Lemony Snicket The Hunger Games Series* by Suzanne Collins The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien Wonder by R.J. Pallacio Gangsta Granny by David Walliams If you have a favourite book or book series that you absolutely loved, and you would like to share that book with us, please comment it below to share with all in 5th class! We would love to hear your recommendations too! Don’t forget about the local library for easy access to many of your favourite books. https://www.louthcoco.ie/en/services/library/online-services/ Kind regards, Miss Mulholland 6/22/2020 0 Comments Bake Off Winners!As you may know, your parents/guardians are collecting your belongings from the school this evening and tomorrow evening. If you entered The Great Fifth Class Bake Off, have a close look through your belongings as you may be a winner!  6/21/2020 0 Comments Our Final Week of 5th Class!Hi 5th Class, We did it! It is our final week of 5th class! Can you believe it? You have all worked so hard throughout this year, and you should be very proud of yourselves! Try to keep an eye on the blog over the last week for a few helpful posts and maybe a surprise or two! We are one week away from summer! Summer can be such a fun time for everybody as the sun is shining and we can spend a lot of time outside! It is also a time where many accidents can happen in water, on the road or on the farm. So to finish off the school year, we are focusing on five areas of safety – keeping ourselves safe on the internet, in water, on the road, on the farm and keeping ourselves safe through hand hygiene/respiratory etiquette. These lessons are extremely important, so please engage with them as best as you can. Keeping Ourselves Safe on the Internet
Keeping Ourselves Safe in Water
Keeping Ourselves Safe on the Road Have fun with the Safe Cross Code Game above! Make sure to pick your correct age for the game.

As I said previously, keep an eye on the blog over the week for some fantastic book suggestions and maybe a little surprise or two! :) Keep safe boys and girls! Miss Mulholland

You have been working incredible hard and have gained some amazing skills over the past few months – including how to learn from a distance! So we have two more weeks of hard work from home before the summer so please give it your very best effort! This week we are focusing on keeping ourselves safe on the internet. Our safety online is even more important now, as we are all at home, and we are using the internet often - to learn from home, and also to communicate with friends. We have already explored some parts of the lesson in class during February and March, but it is important to revise what we have learned. Please engage with the lesson as best as you can. Here is a menu of suggested work to complete for this week. As I have 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 on Seesaw or through email. I do not mind if this work is sent daily, or at the end of the week – whatever suits you best! As always, I have attached a Suggested Schedule of Work to help those who need a little bit of structure in their learning. Maths

6/10/2020 0 Comments Maths Help! (Pie-charts)Hi 5th Class!
The YouTube link below explains how to change the percentage of a pie-chart into degrees. It may help you with pg. 153 and pg. 154 of your Busy at Maths. Take note: when she finds 50% of 360 - she changes the 50% into a decimal (0.5) and multiplies that by 360. Notice how she writes a dot instead of a multiplication sign? That's ok - that is called a multiplication dot and means to multiply. That is a perfect solution! We have practised finding this a different way - changing 50% into a fraction (1/2), then dividing by the bottom (360 divided by 2 = 180), and multiplying by the top (180 x 1 = 180). Both methods are perfect so feel free to explore that! https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=95&v=QAArbrux1FI&feature=emb_logo I have also linked a game to get your brain back into the fraction/percentage/decimal frame-of-mind! https://www.mathgoodies.com/games/conversions If you would like any more help with any of the Maths problems in your Busy at Maths, or your Master Your Maths, please don't hesitate to ask! Miss Mulholland Hi 5th class, So we are coming close to the end of our school year, and I know it can be hard to keep your motivation high. Try your best to put as much effort into the last few weeks of learning as you can! We have a little more work to finish, particularly in your Maths, so let's try our very best to get as much learning from 5th class as we possible can! Here is a list of suggested work to complete for this week. As always, only complete what suits you and your family best, but in saying that, try to cover as much as you can. Maths
English
Gaeilge
Science/Art - The GREAT Fifth Class BAKE OFF

Our first stop! Say hi to the llamas for me! https://www.youvisit.com/tour/machupicchu?pl=f And our final stop, up North for some lego fun! https://www.visitorlando.com/en/things-to-do/virtual-tours/legoland-florida-resort Well done to those who guessed correctly using the clues from this week's suggested work! Have a wonderful weekend, 5th class! Miss Mulholland 6/4/2020 0 Comments Seesaw!Hi 5th Class,
Seesaw has been up and running for our class for 3 days now, and I am delighted with all the work I am receiving on it - from wonderful written activities, to pictures, to videos of your sports day challenges! Well done! I hope it is easy to use for you all. Any questions - I am only an email away. (missmulholland2020@gmail.com) If you have still not accessed Seesaw, ask your parents to check for an email from myself. If they have not received one, feel free to email me, and I will explain what Seesaw is, and how to set it up. If you are unable to set up Seesaw, please do not worry. I will continue to check my email as often as I can for your incoming work. Lastly, I have already received some amazing local history projects - I am so excited to read and learn from more of you! If you would like to upload the project to Seesaw, that is perfect, or normal email is great too! Hope you are all looking forward to our.. TWO virtual tours tomorrow! Have you guessed where we are going? Get that school tour lunch packed... you can't miss the best lunch of the year! Miss Mulholland 6/1/2020 8 Comments Sports Day/School Tour Week!Hi 5th Class! I hope you had a fabulous long weekend, and spent plenty of time out in the sun! I also hope you didn't forget your sun cream! This week is a special week. If we were in school this week, we would have had our Sports Day and we also would have been going on our school tour on Friday! Unfortunately, they cannot happen as normal this year, but they can happen...virtually! This week, instead of the usual work assigned, I have given you tasks to complete for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and your Virtual School Tour will happen on Friday. The tasks I have given you might be clues to where our Virtual School Tour is going to take place... See can you figure it out! Clue: We are going to a "Southern" continent... followed by some fun in a "Northern" continent... Can you think of a continent that has a North and South? This week, we will also have a Virtual Sports Day, so have a look on the School Blog for details on how you can get involved! I would love to see your participation in Virtual Sports Day, by filling out the "Sports Day Planner" with your family and uploading it to Seesaw! :) The activities can be completed any time throughout the week. Did you spot the Teacher's Virtual Sports Day Video? Mr. Loughran should have waited until my shoe was tied - how bold! Now that Seesaw is up and running, it would be great if you could upload this week's completed work on Seesaw, instead of emailing it to me. (You might have to email me your Local History Project, that is okay! Reminder - Due on Friday!) If you need any help with Seesaw, don't hesitate to email me! Your work for this week (Tuesday - Thursday) is as follows: (No need to complete spellings, MYM, tables, etc. Only complete what is below for this week.) 1. History - The Inca Civilisation
2. Maths - Virtual Sports Day Activity (Length)
3. English - Creative Writing - Letter/Persuasive
4. Art - Inca Metal Tooling/Lego Temple
Friday - Virtual School Tour Day! (I will post the Virtual School Tour on Friday! It's a surprise!) YAY! Have you guessed where we might be going? Enjoy this week's work, Fifth Class! It is sad that we cannot have our usual Sports Day and School Tour but I hope you get some enjoyment from the activities this week! Miss you all! Miss Mulholland
